Metal is not the source of Allomancy's power.{{annotation ref|mb3|chapter=38}} Rather, metal is what is called a [[focus]]--a necessary component to a manifestation of [[Investiture]] (magic system), but not the source of the power itself. When an Allomancer burns a metal, that metal's specific molecular structure acts as a conduit to Preservation, and then the Allomancer is granted an ability corresponding to the metal, hence the metal "focuses" Preservation's power to the user. Each metal is the only way a mortal can access Preservation and the power of creation's power.{{wob ref|6072}} Afterwards, the metal is vaporized.{{wob ref|10097}} This is only true for the base sixteen Allomantic metals. However, theThe god metals, (lerasium and, atium, and ettmetal) are theactually sourcesInvestiture ofcondensed powerinto themselvesa solid form. Burning atium, being [[Ruin]]'s bodythe, meansdraws thepower Allomancerfrom isRuin, not accessing Preservation in any way in that process.{{epigraph ref|mb3|78}}

It may be quite unclear that Allomancy is of Preservation. After all, Pushing and Pulling on metals isn't an effect that "preserves," so to speak. However, it is important to know that the saying "Allomancy is of Preservation" has a very specific meaning: the way''power'' that an Allomancer ''accesses'' the power is of Preservation, but the actual ''effect'' of the power is unrelated to Preservation.{{wob ref|4032}} This is aThe fundamental difference between Allomancy and Feruchemy. Inis Feruchemy, its power comes from your own energy, butthat Allomancy is of Preservation. The act of burning a metal--accessing thedraws power offrom Preservation--mustan be''external'' in line with the intent ofsource (Preservation. So burning a metal needs to "preserve" one's own energy), andwhile soFeruchemy thestores power must come from thean external''internal'' source of(the Preservationuser's own body).{{cite}}

Allomancy--as well as Feruchemy--has the property that abilities are inherent to the user, and are hardcoded into their Spiritweb.{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}} While other Investitures can take years of practice{{disputed}}, Allomancers can use their power the moment they can acquire the correct metals. This comes with the tradeoff that having the trait of Allomancy is something one is born with; a non-Allomancer cannot become an Allomancer (except in the very particular case of burning [[lerasium]], which overwrites one's Spiritual DNA to have the connection to Preservation required to use Allomancy{{wob ref|10116}}).

Allomancy was not created by Preservation. None of the Metallic Arts were "created" by Preservation and Ruin. Rather, these powers are the natural result of the interactions between Preservation, Ruin, and Scadrial itself.{{wob ref|5269}}

It is also possible to use Allomancy in the Cognitive Realm.{{wob ref|1835}}
