A '''Twinborn''' is a [[Metalborn]] with at least one [[Allomantic]] power and one [[Feruchemical]] power.
 
Twinborn only began to appear after the [[Final Ascension]], due to the intermingling of the [[Terris]] people with the other citizens of the [[Final Empire]]. This mingling also had the effect of diluting Feruchemical power, creating [[Ferring]]s .{{book ref|mb5|part=ars}}. The interaction of Feruchemy and [[Allomancy]] in a single person allows for practical benefits of the power ([[Gold|Bloodmaker]]s healing in a time bubble, [[Coinshot]]s augmenting their weight with Feruchemical [[iron]]), etc.
 
It should be noted however, that it is difficult to be born a [[Allomancy|Mistborn]] and full Feruchemist. This is due to fact that they share portions of the individual's "spiritual DNA"{{wob ref|3440}}, thus making a full manifestation of both abilities almost completely impossible. Whether this means someone can be born a full Mistborn and Ferring or full Feruchemist and Misting is yet to be determined.
