A '''Twinborn''' is a [[Metalborn]] with at least one [[Allomantic]] power and one [[Feruchemical]] power.
Notable Twinborn included [[Waxillium Ladrian]], [[Wayne]], and [[Miles Dagouter]].{{book ref|aol}}
Twinborn only began to appear after the [[Final Ascension]], due to the intermingling of the [[Terris]] people with the
It should be noted however, that it is not possible to be born a full feruchemist and mistborn. This is due to fact that they share portions of the individuals "spiritual DNA" (as stated by Brandon), thus preventing a full manifestation of both abilities. Whether this means someone can be born a full mistborn and ferring, or full feruchemist and misting is yet to be determined.
==Compounding==
If the Twinborn is fortunate enough to obtain the Allomantic and Feruchemical abilities of the same metal, they can practice [[Compounding]]. Initially seen in The Final Empire
Compounding involves storing a Feruchemical attribute in a metalmind, then burning the metalmind Allomantically. This in effect creates a "new metal". Brandon explained[[http://www.dragonmount.com/index.php/News/tom/brandonsanderson/brandon-sanderson-book-signing-report-visit-to-r229]], "In compounding, when you have the power of both Allomancy and Feruchemy, you draw power from the other place [Preservation] through the metal and it recognizes the power that is already stored--"Oh, this is healing, I know how to do that”--and so you get the power of Feruchemy but boosted by energy from the other place. This is how the Lord Ruler achieved immortality." The Lord Ruler Compounded [[Atium]], which stores Youth, in order to stay alive for hundreds of years. Similarly, Miles 'Hundred-Lives' Dagouter Compounded gold (Health), getting near infinite amounts of Healing.
==Classification==
Just as individuals with only one Allomantic or Feruchemical power have a special name (i.e. Coinshot, Archivist), each combination of Twinborn has one as well. At this time, only the combination of Crasher (Coinshot and Skimmer) is known in the books. However, [[Wayne]] claims to know the names for each of them.{{book ref|mba1|1}} Excluding the God Metals (which are unknown at the time of ''[[Alloy of Law]]'') this makes for a total of 256 possible combinations. Many of the combinations are listed in the Mistborn RPG; however, these may not be canon titles [[User:WeiryWriter/Twinborn_Chart]].
