El Duraluminio es el metal de empuje interno mejorador. Un alomante que quema duraluminio es capaz de aumentar enormemente el efecto de los demás metales que esté quemando. Los feruquimistas pueden usar el duraluminio para almacenar Conexión, y cuando se usa como clavo hemalúrgico, el duraluminio roba Conexión e Identidad.

Composición de la Aleación

El duraluminio usado en las Artes Metálicas es noventa y seis por ciento aluminio, cuatro por ciento cobre.

Uso Alomántico

A duralumin Misting is known as a Duralumin Gnat. Un alomántico que quema duraluminio gasta instantáneamente cualquier metal que se esté quemando simultáneamente, liberando un enorme estallido de poder de esos metales. El duraluminio en sí mismo no es completamente consumido como ocurre con lo metales que se queman en conjunto a él, aunque este sigue quemándose a un ritmo constante. Un mosquito de duraluminio no obtiene ningún beneficio de sus poderes.

El uso del duraluminio podría lastimar seriamente a un nacido de la bruma. Mientras quema estaño, el nacido de la bruma se arriesga a ser conmocionado por la sobrecarga sensorial y quedarse temporalmente aturdido, cegado y ensordecido. A Push or Pull could become so strong it can feel like the Mistborn is being torn apart. When using duralumin, Mistborn usually burn pewter along with tin/iron/steel to avoid injuries.

When combined with emotional Allomancy, duralumin allows Allomancers to "break into" and gain control of Hemalurgic constructs such as kandra and koloss, even if they would not normally have enough raw power to do so.

Duralumin could potentially be used to gain a burst of power from other forms of Investiture as well, such as Surgebinding. Burning duralumin while also Compounding any other metal does not gain anything other than time, and is quite dangerous due to the swift effects of the duralumin.

Feruchemical Use

A duralumin Ferring is known as a Connector. Duralumin is used to store Spiritual Connection. Filling a duraluminmind can be used to reduce other people's awareness of and friendship with the Connector, as these Spiritual Connections become stored away. Tapping it would strengthen Connections or allow the Connector to form relationships faster.

Southern Scadrians use unsealed duraluminminds to enable them to communicate with others on foreign lands. They still retain their native accent when doing so, though someone could develop a local accent by blanking their Identity. This ability can be used on other planets, though it does not grant the ability to travel between worlds. Tapping a duraluminmind would also allow someone to overcome the location restriction on Selish Invested Arts; for example, an Elantrian could use Aons at full power regardless of location, though there are also easier ways to achieve this. It could also allow a person to become a squire to multiple Orders of Knights Radiant, though there are, again, easier ways.

A duraluminmind would be able to interpret rhythms, albeit not very accurately.

Compounding

A duralumin Compounder would be able to use duralumin to have a nearly infinite supply of Spiritual Connection. The Compounder would be able to put a Hemalurgic creature under complete control, similar to what Soothers and Rioters can do.

Hemalurgic Use

When used as a Hemalurgic spike, duralumin steals Connection and Identity.

History

During the Final Empire, the Lord Ruler kept aluminum and its alloy duralumin from public knowledge to give the Inquisitors an advantage. Aluminum and duralumin were also unknown to people due to the advanced technology (electrolysis) required to refine it. Without that technology, the Lord Ruler acquired small amounts of aluminum from ashmounts.

Vin, after being fed aluminum by the Inquisitors, figured there should be an alloy for it, too. Despite the risk to herself, she tested out various alloys of aluminum with Terion's help, and eventually discovered an alloy that didn't cause sickness when burned -- duralumin. However, since she wasn't burning any other metal at the same time, the duralumin seemed to generate no effect. Later, while sparring with Zane, Vin was stunned to find out the effect of duralumin.

She carefully kept the secret of duralumin and used it to great advantage on several occasions later in combination with both physical and mental Allomancy. TenSoon and Zane eventually found out about duralumin, however, allowing Zane to use it against her.

Trivia

• Duralumin is a real alloy of aluminum, and is fairly common.
• If Vin hadn't had duralumin in the fight at the Luthadel Assembly meeting, both she and Elend would have died.
• An alternative ending to The Well of Ascension has a conversation about duralumin between Vin and Elend.
• Brandon had Elend burn both duralumin and atium at the Battle of Hathsin because a lot of people had asked about the combination.
