Once an Allomancer has Snapped, they will feel a reserve of power in their stomach when they have ingested a metal they can burn. The metals are usually ingested by drinking specifically prepared metal vials, which contain metal flakes suspended in an alcohol solution or other such liquid i.e. cod oil. While swallowing metal is the most common way of getting metal into the body, other ways such as injecting or snorting will also work.{{wob ref|13947}} When using their powers, many Allomancers describe a warm feeling in the stomach, hence the term "burning metal". It is completely instinctual for an Allomancer to activate and burn their metal and gain its ability; it does not require training to do it (however, there is much training in using their metals properly). It is so instinctual that in some circumstances, an Allomancer can even burn metals while unconscious.{{book ref|mb1|15}} An Allomancer can also burn their metals at an accelerated rate, which is called "flaring." Flaring grants more power, but the reserve of metals depletes much faster, too.{{book ref|mb1|7}} Allomancers can burn metals from any [[Shardworld]].{{wob ref|12692}}▼

{{anchor|Mistings}}{{anchor|Mistborn}} Allomancers will either be able to burn a single metal ('''Mistings''') or they will be able to burn every metal ('''Mistborn'''). There is no natural way for a person to have, say, exactly two Allomantic powers. It is either one or all of them. Each type of Misting was given a particular name depending on their ability, such as Lurcher, Coinshot, or Soother. An Allomancer's lineage does not usually play a factor in which kind of Misting they are.{{wob ref|12582}}▼

Throughout the ages, the strength of an Allomancer has slowly decreased, weakening a bit with each generation.{{epigraph ref|mb3|21}}{{epigraph ref|mb3|22}} This dilution of power eventually caps and cannot decrease any further, and has reached that point by [[Mistborn_(series)#Era_3|Era 3]].{{wob ref|10873}} People who use [[lerasium]] can gain the strength of ancient, powerful Allomancers.{{wob ref|10116}}▼

|There are two metals for every power. One Pushes, one Pulls--the second is usually an alloy of the first. For emotions--the external mental powers--you Pull with [[zinc]] and Push with [[brass]]. You just used pewter to Push your body. That's one of the internal physical powers.▼

There are sixteen basic Allomantic metals (though, despite being called "Allomantic" metals, these same metals are shared in all three Metallic Arts). The metals come in pairs: one metal is a pure metal, and it is paired with an alloy (a mixture) of that base metal. These pairs have complementary effects. [[Iron]] Pulls on nearby metals, while [[steel]] (an alloy of iron) Pushes on metals. Similarly, each unalloyed metal is classified as a "Pulling" ability, whereas each alloy is classified as a "Pushing" ability.{{wob ref|2478}} The purity of the metals is important. The more pure a metal, the more effective they are. Alloys require precise metal percentages for maximum power. Burning an impure alloy may cause sickness,{{book ref|mb1|7}} while metals that are not Allomantically viable cannot be burned after being ingested.{{wob ref|13503}}▼

In addition to Pulling and Pushing classifications, there are external and internal metals. External powers influence things outside an Allomancer's body, while internal powers influence the Allomancer. This naturally divides the sixteen Allomantic metals into four groups of four metals each: physical, mental, temporal, and enhancement powers. Each quadrant has a metal and alloy pair of an external power, and another pair of internal powers. For example, the external physical powers are iron and steel, while the internal physical powers are [[tin]]--which enhances the Allomancer's senses--and [[pewter]]--which enhances the Allomancer's physical attributes.▼
