'''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 [[Radiant]]s all being "broken" as indicated by [[Syl]].{{qa ref|1159|8|Shadows of Self signing in Brookline|date=2015-10-14}}{{book ref|sa2|68}}
Children of confirmed noble bloodlines often undergo a planned beating as a test to see if they Snap. Later, however, the mists cause sickness in people, triggering their own Snapping; this process is started by [[Preservation]], but is manipulated by [[Ruin]] into killing people, thus raising superstitions about the mists being dangerous.
