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}}▼

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}}

▲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.{{qa ref|977|177|What about a lerasium savant?|date=September 2012}} 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}}

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.{{
* 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}}
