'''Aluminum''' is the internal enhancement pulling metal. An [[Allomancy|Allomancer]] burning aluminum will make all of their metal reserves vanish.{{book ref|mb2|5}} [[Feruchemist]]s can use aluminum to store [[Identity]], and when used as a [[Hemalurgic]] spike, aluminum removes all powers. It is known as '''Ralkalest''' or '''the unForgeable metal''' in the [[Rose Empire]] on [[Sel]].{{wob ref|6364}}
Aluminum metal (and some of its alloys) are "Allomantically inert" -- they cannot be [[steel|Pushed]] or [[iron|Pulled]], and can shield people from emotional Allomancy.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} Aluminum generates no [[atium|atium shadows]]{{wob ref|6870}} and can create dead zones within [[cadmium#Allomantic use|cadmium]] and [[bendalloy#Allomantic Use|bendalloy]] bubbles, where the shielded area is not included within the time bubble.{{wob ref|4297}} It also interferes with [[Gold#Feruchemical Use|Feruchemical healing]], by making it impossible for wounds to heal around the aluminum until it is removed from the body. There is a similar effect on [[Pewter#Allomantic Use|pewter Allomancy]].{{wob ref|6365}}
Aluminum has been confirmed to have strange effects to all magic systems, is magically inert, and will act as an [[Investiture]] sink.{{wob ref|7942}}
== Allomantic Use ==
An aluminum [[Misting]] is known as an '''Aluminum Gnat'''. Burning aluminum causes the body to instantly metabolize its metal reserves without any other effect.{{wob ref|2461}} As such, an Aluminum Gnat serves no purpose and gains nothing from their powers.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} When burning metals, non-[[Investiture|Invested]] metals go before the Invested ones.{{wob ref|881}} Only Allomantically relevant metals can be burned away.{{wob ref|12563}} Allomancy does not affect aluminum
Since aluminum can shield against emotional Allomancy, those who can afford to, often wear [[Wikipedia:Tin foil hat|hats]] with aluminum lining.{{book ref|mb5|1}} An Aluminum Gnat would be able to heal from the withering inflicted by a [[Shade]] by burning aluminum.{{wob ref|6374}}
== Feruchemical Use ==
{{icon|aluminum|f|150px|right|thumb|The Feruchemical symbol for aluminum}}
An aluminum [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Trueself'''. Aluminum is used to store "spiritual sense of [[Identity]]." This ability is not fully understood, and is rarely discussed outside of Terris communities.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} A Trueself who fills an aluminummind to the point where they have no Identity and then fills another metalmind is able to produce a metalmind that any Feruchemist with the relevant power can tap. In a similar manner, a
It is unclear why Identity can be stored in and withdrawn from an
== Hemalurgic Use ==
== Weaponry ==
Guns and bullets made from aluminum are highly effective (albeit expensive) because they cannot be [[steel|Pushed]], [[iron|Pulled]], or even detected using the sight granted by steel or iron Allomancy. Aluminum bullets are actually composed of an Allomantically inert alloy of aluminum since the ballistics of a pure aluminum bullet would not work.{{book ref|mb4|7}}

Aluminum cannot be [[Awakening|Awakened]]. It is possible for aluminum to prevent someone from [[Returned|Returning]], but
[[Nightblood]]'s sheath is made of aluminum.{{wob ref|8162}} On Roshar, a [[Fused]] uses Nightblood's sheath to block an attack from [[Szeth]], who was wielding Nightblood.

* Brandon thought of having [[Vin]] burn [[silver]] rather than aluminum when captured in [[Kredik Shaw]] but decided that aluminum would be less abundant.{{wob ref|7983}}
