One danger for someone burning pewter is when carrying something that they normally couldn't carry and they run out of the metal, the object they are carrying will crush them, causing serious injury. Another danger is that an Allomancer who shrugged off earlier wounds could succumb to said wounds when they run out of pewter to burn.
Ideal allomantic pewter has a tin:lead ratio of 91:9.
A Misting who can only burn pewter is known as a "Pewterarm" or "Thug".
An Allomancer burning [[electrum]] is able to see into their own future. Burning Electrum is also an effective means of countering an Allomancer burning Atium.
Ideal allomantic electrum has a gold:silver ratio of 9:11.
A Misting who can only burn electrum is known as an "Oracle".
==God Metals==
===Atium (External)===
Previously thought to only be a higher metal, it is also revealed in the third book ([[The Hero of Ages]]) that [[atium]] is actually the physical form of the god Ruin that Preservation locked away when he placed Ruin in the [[Well of Ascension]]. It is described as being a dark, beadlike bit of metal.
Atium is the most valuable metal in the world, and it is slowly mined from the [[Pits of Hathsin]]. The metal is mined by prisoners of the Lord Ruler, as using Allomancy near the atium-producing crystals shatters them. This metal allows the Mistborn to see a few seconds into the future, thereby allowing them to anticipate the moves of an opponent. It also enhances the mind to cope with and understand these new insights, effectively turning a Mistborn invincible for a short time. Atium burns very quickly.
