Snapping commonly occurs when a ~~misting~~Misting or ~~mistborn~~Mistborn undergoes heavy stress and pain, often in a near -death situation, causing them to trigger latent ~~allomantic~~Allomantic abilities. According to [[Realmatic Theory]], this creates a crack on the soul which the power can fit into. There are some similarities to this in other magic systems, such as the [[Knights Radiant]] all being "broken" as indicated by [[Syl]].{{wob ref\|5469}}{{book ref\|sa2\|68}} ~~Children~~In the [[Final Empire]], children of confirmed noble bloodlines often ~~underwent~~undergo a planned beating as a test to see if they ~~snapped~~Snap. Later, however, the mists ~~caused~~cause sickness in people, triggering their own ~~snapping,~~Snapping; this process ~~was~~is started by [[Preservation]], but ~~was~~is manipulated by [[Ruin]] ~~in to~~into killing people, thus raising superstitions about the mists being dangerous. The length of time a person has "mist sickness" relates to their ~~allomantic~~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.{{wob ref\|4242}} == Known Snappings == * [[Alendi]] is Snapped by the [[mist]]s.{{wob ref\|8087}} * [[Clubs]] Snaps during his time fighting rebels in the southeast.{{wob ref\|7707}}{{wob ref\|7544}} * [[Marsh]] Snaps after his mother is taken away by [[obligator]]s.{{book ref\|mb1\|20}} * [[Vin]] Snaps while she is being born, during her mother's "unusually difficult labor".{{epigraph ref\|mb3\|epilogue}} * [[Spook]] Snaps when he is five years old and can barely remember the event as an adult.{{book ref\|mb1\|32}} * [[Kelsier]] Snaps after [[Mare]] dies, while he is imprisoned in the [[Pits of Hathsin]].{{book ref\|mb1\|17}} * Many soldiers in [[Elend]]'s army, including [[Demoux]], were Snapped by the [[mist]]s.{{book ref\|mb3\|81}} == Notes == <references /> {{partial}} {{MetallicArts}}[[Category:Allomancy]]▼ {{~~stub~~Mistborn\|metals}} [[category: Metallic Arts]] ▲~~{{MetallicArts}}~~[[Category: Allomancy]]
