'''Nicrosil''' is the external enhancement pushing metal. An Allomancer burning nicrosil is able to enhance the effects of another Allomancer's powers. Feruchemists can use nicrosil to store Investiture, and when used as a Hemalurgic spike, nicrosil steals Investiture. It is the paired alloy of [[chromium]] in the Metallic Arts. While the exact composition of Allomantic or Feruchemical nicrosil is unknown, real-world nicrosil is an alloy primarily of nickel, with some

A nicrosil [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Soulbearer'''. Nicrosil is used to store [[Investiture]].

If a [[Scadrian]] is stabbed with a spike Invested with stolen Investiture from another Scadrian, they may temporarily gain Allomantic powers.{{book ref|mb7|47}}
