Ruin
Since the [[Final Ascension]], this intent has been tempered by [[Preservation]], which also makes it difficult for anyone holding [[Harmony]] to take action.{{book ref|mb5|7}}

=== Hemalurgy ===
{{for|Hemalurgy}}
Ruin fuels [[Hemalurgy]], one of the three Metallic Arts on [[Scadrial]]. [[Hemalurgy]] is a unique magic in that unlike most it is not limited to [[Scadrial]] and can be used by anyone anywhere. Hemalurgy is a method of removing a portion of a person's spirit web and grafting it onto someone else. While [[Hemalurgy]]'s potential is largely unexplored and remains a great mystery, it is mainly used to grant access to various [[Investiture]] systems for the recipient. Individuals who are pierced by Hemalurgic spikes can hear Ruin's voice in their head. In addition to this, Ruin can also subtly manipulate the emotions of spiked individuals, and slightly alter their perception of certain things without them being aware of it. The more spikes piercing a person, the more holes in their spirit web, which in turn allows for easier control by the Vessel of Ruin as well as susceptibility to emotional Allomancy. For example, humans with one spike are only subtly affected by Ruin, whereas [[Koloss]], which are human with four spikes, are under direct and absolute control of Ruin. Three spikes or less do not enable Ruin or emotional Allomancy to completely control a human.{{book ref|mb6|27}}▼
Ruin fuels [[Hemalurgy]], one of the three Metallic Arts on [[Scadrial]], and a unique one among them in that it can be used by anyone anywhere, provided they have the appropriate tools and [[Intent]].{{wob ref|6312}} It allows for removing a portion of a person's [[spiritweb]] and grafting it onto someone else with a metal spike, essentially stealing an attribute or power and taking it onto oneself. Various attributes can be stolen, from physical qualities such as strength or senses to magical powers, like [[Allomancy|Allomantic]] abilities, and even foreign magic systems like [[Surgebinding]].{{wob ref|12018}} What attribute is stolen depends on the metal used and the placement of the spike.{{file ref|Hemalurgy table.jpg|text=Hemalurgy Table}}

=== Feruchemy ===
{{for|Feruchemy}}
[[Feruchemy]] is a [[Metallic Arts|Metallic Art]] created by both Ruin and [[Preservation]]. Unlike Feruchemy, it is inheritable; a person has to be born with the ability to use it.{{wob ref|5269}} Like Preservation's own magic, [[Allomancy]], Feruchemy grants sixteen separate powers for each of the base metals, as well as additional abilities for every [[god metal]].{{file ref|Feruchemical table.jpg|text=Feruchemical Table}} A person can store an attribute of themselves in a piece of metal called a metalmind, diminishing it in themselves, and tap the stored attribute, increasing it in themselves -- for example, store strength to become weaker, then tap it to become stronger.{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}}
Which attribute can be stored depends on the metal used. A person can be born a Feruchemist, allowing them to use all powers, or a Ferring, letting them use only one metal. The base sixteen metals are divided into four categories: physical, which store physical attributes of a person, cognitive, which store attributes of the mind, spiritual, which store attributes of the soul, and hybrid, which store attributes related to bodily processes, like health or energy.{{file ref|Feruchemical table.jpg|text=Feruchemical Table}}

=== Atium ===
{{for|Atium}}
The solid form of Ruin's power, a metal known as [[atium]], allows the user to see a few seconds into the future when Allomantically burned. [[Atium]] can also be used to store youth with [[Feruchemy]], that youth can be [[Compounding|compounded]] to create a semblance of agelessness. When used as a Hemalurgic spike, atium can steal any power, including those of [[Allomancy]], [[Feruchemy]], and possibly other magic systems, though it must first be refined.{{file ref|Hemalurgy table.jpg| Table of Hemalurgic Metals}}▼
