'''Snapping''' is the process by which someone gains the powers of [[Allomancy]] on [[Scadrial]].
Snapping commonly occurs when a Misting or Mistborn undergoes heavy stress and pain, often in a near-death situation, causing them to trigger latent Allomantic abilities. According to [[Realmatic Theory]], this creates a crack on the soul which the power can fit into. There are some similarities on this to other magic systems, such as the [[Knights Radiant]]
The length a person has "mist sickness" relates to their Allomantic powers and abilities. The most powerful [[atium]] mistings are sick for the longest time.
During the time the mists are Snapping people in [[The Hero of Ages]], they also raise the Allomantic potential of the people they Snap so that exactly 16% are Snapped.{{book ref|mb3|21}} The number is a hint left by Preservation for humans to understand.
At some point after the [[Final Ascension]], [[Harmony]] is disturbed by the process of Snapping and alters the way it operates, but it is not clear how Snapping works now.{{
