[[Spook]] is an Allomantic savant. He flares his tin for so long that he can sense things as minute as the wind of a sword's passing. However, his senses are so enhanced that any light is too bright for him, forcing him to wear a blindfold, and he keeps his ears stuffed with wool to block out noises.
[[Waxillium Ladrian]]'s ability to create a "[[steel#Allomantic Use|steel bubble]]" to deflect metal moving around him{{book ref|mb4|1}} was originally intended to be the result of him being a savant in the [[resonance]] between his [[steel#Allomantic Use|Allomantic steel]] and [[iron#Feruchemical Use|Feruchemical iron]]. Brandon later backed up on that, as he realized Wax was not manifesting the usual consequences of savantism.{{wob ref|1563}}{{wob ref|8115}} It is unclear what this means for the status of savants like Seekers, who were previously described as facing little consequence for savanthood.▼
If someone were able to burn the amount of [[Lerasium]] needed to become a savant with the metal, they would ascend and become the holder of Preservation, similar to what happens when one consumes the mists.{{wob ref|1248}} This is due to the nature of the metal as the condensed power of Preservation.▼

* The extra abilities gained by a savant cannot be transferred through [[Hemalurgy]].{{wob ref|6816}}
