A '''savant''' is someone who has used an [[Investiture]]-related ability so much that it has changed their physiology; at least [[Allomancy]] and [[Soulcasting]] can lead to savants. The process involves one's spirit becoming infused with Investiture, causing changes in the [[Physical Realm]].{{wob ref|1557}}▼

An Allomancer who has flared their metal for a long time can become a savant. Generally, savantism gives the
With most metals, the effects are quite small. [[Bronze#Allomantic Use|Seeker]]s, for example, often become savants without being aware of it, granting them a boost to the range of their abilities. However, some metals warp the body of savants much more. [[Tin]] savants experience such magnification of their senses that they can become incapacitated by bright light or loud sounds. [[Pewter]] [[Misting]]s often die before becoming savants,{{epigraph ref|mb3|16}} as they feel neither pain nor exhaustion to any great extent and therefore may ignore wounds that later prove fatal. Pewter savants heal quickly, though not as fast as someone tapping health from a goldmind.{{book ref|mb4|17}}

▲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.
Since Feruchemy doesn't draw from an external power, it is very difficult to become a savant.{{wob ref|13463}} If the Feruchemist is able to [[Compound]] and draw power from an outside source they could become one.{{epigraph ref|mb3|32}}{{wob ref|13393}}

Every [[Surge]] can cause a [[Surgebinding|Surgebinder]] to become a savant.{{wob ref|14008}}
Soulcasting savants begin to take on the physical characteristics of the substances that they produce with Soulcasting. Some Soulcaster [[ardent]]s take on the appearance of stone or crystal{{book ref|sa2|35}}, and [[Kaza]]'s body starts turning into smoke.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} Both Surgebinder Soulcasters and users of Soulcaster fabrials can become savants, though the effects are much less pronounced for Surgebinders, due to the [[Nahel bond]].{{wob ref|8742}}▼

* Savants look different in the [[Spiritual Realm]] compared to a regular human.{{wob ref|2668}}
* The extra abilities gained by a savant cannot be transferred through [[Hemalurgy]].{{wob ref|6816}}
* [[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}}
