Ferrings[edit]
Someone should totally put this relevant bit of info about ferrings being rare before the final ascension into the page: Relevant Theoryland Database Link -Josh
Number of possible powers[edit]
If every shard can combine with the regular 16 metals to form 16 new alomantic alloys (as can every shard combination because harmonium) then there are a total 1048576 possible alomantic metals and powers

Lerasium[edit]
Just wondering whether or not Lerasiums Allomantic use should be listed as creating Mistborn as in 17th Shard Interview--Voidus (talk) 16:04, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
- Good point. In fact, it was confirmed somewhere that what lerasium does if you are already an Allomancer is it strengthens your Allomancy. That should be in there. --Chaos2651 (talk) 19:38, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
Metal categorization[edit]
On this page, Metallic Arts, the metals are divided into 8 "basic" metals and 8 "higher" metals, a system which I believe is derived from how the characters from the books consider them.
On the Template:Metallic arts page, all 16 non-god metals are labeled as "base" metals.
Seems like they should be consistent. Hadhad (talk) 12:11, 2 March 2016 (MST)
- Indeed, these are all inconsistently based around understandings from various Ars Arcanum and in-world knowledge. The standard should probably be as 'modern' as we know, with the inconsistencies explained in a history/culture section somewhere.
