▲'''Allomancy''' is a magic system from [[Brandon Sanderson]]'s ''[[Mistborn (Trilogy)|Mistborn]]'' fantasy novel trilogy that allows users, known as '''allomancers''', to "burn" (or use) ingested metals, thereby enhancing various physical and mental capacities. For an additional burst of power, an Allomancer may burn their metal(s) especially quickly, consuming them at an accelerated rate, but gaining greater benefits from them; this is referred to as "flaring" metals. A person who is only able to burn one of the metals listed below is known as a '''Misting'''. Anyone capable of burning more than one metal is capable of burning all of them; these people are known as '''Mistborn'''.
== Allomantic savants ==
An Allomancer burning [[Iron]] is able to Pull on nearby metals. This can allow them to make metallic objects that weigh less than they do to fly through the air toward them. For metallic objects which weigh more than they do, this can cause them to be pulled toward the object. It was generally assumed that an Allomancer could not Pull on metals that pierce or are otherwise contained in the body of another living being (e.g., ingested metals), however it can be achieved by an exceedingly powerful Allomancer.

An Allomancer burning [[Steel]] is able to

====Tin (Internal)====
An Allomancer burning [[Tin]] is able to enhance all five of their senses. A major flaw of burning [[Tin]] is that if a sudden loud noise or bright light appears it can render an Allomancer stunned for a short time. Mistings burning Tin are often used as lookouts and scouts because they can see in near-darkness.
A Misting who can only burn Tin is known as a
====Pewter (Internal)====
An Allomancer burning [[Pewter]] is able to greatly enhance their physical capabilities. While burning pewter, an Allomancer can fight or perform physical labor longer than any normal person, and is also many times stronger than his or her normal self; this applies not only to their muscle strength, but to the strength of their bones, skin, etc. This enhanced strength also allows an Allomancer to shrug off wounds that would kill or incapacitate a normal person. Pewter-burning also provides an Allomancer with an increased sense of balance and vastly increased speed and dexterity. An Allomancer performing a
One danger for someone burning Pewter is when carrying something that they normally couldn't carry and they run out of the metal, the object they are carrying will crush them, causing serious injury. Another danger is that an Allomancer who shrugged off earlier wounds could succumb to said wounds when they run out of Pewter to burn.
A Misting who can only burn Pewter is known as a
===Mental Metals===
An Allomancer burning [[Zinc]] is able to inflame the emotions of those nearby. This can be used to incite riots (hence the name zinc Mistings go by) or to enhance any emotion of the target. The Allomancer can affect a single person or all the individuals in a particular area.
A Misting who can only burn Zinc is known as a
====Brass (External)====
An Allomancer burning [[Brass]] is able to soothe or guide emotions in a particular direction. An Allomancer can affect a single person or all the individuals in a particular area.
A Misting who can only burn Brass is known as a
====Copper (Internal)====
An Allomancer burning [[Copper]] is able to hide themselves and others from

====Bronze (Internal)====
An Allomancer burning [[Bronze]] is able to determine if someone else is using Allomancy in the immediate area. With practice, an Allomancer can determine the location of the other Allomancer, which metal the other Allomancer is burning, and to what extent the other Allomancer is burning his or her metal. An exceedingly powerful Allomancer is able to pierce the

==Higher Metals==
An Allomancer burning [[Cadmium]] can subtly pull on time in a bubble around them, stretching it and making time pass more slowly.
A Misting who can only burn Cadmium is known as a
This metal is still unknown by the end of [[Mistborn: The Hero of Ages]].
An Allomancer burning [[Bendalloy]] can subtly push on time in a bubble around them, compressing it and making it pass more quickly.
A Misting who can only burn Bendalloy is known as a
This metal alloy is still unknown by the end of [[Mistborn: The Hero of Ages]].
[[Gold]] allows an Allomancer to see what they might have been if they had made different choices in the past. It is rarely used due to possible severe emotional trauma.
A Misting who can only burn Gold is known as an
====Electrum (Internal)====
An Allomancer burning [[Electrum]] is able to see into their own future. Burning Electrum is also an effective means of countering an Allomancer burning Atium.
A Misting who can only burn Electrum is known as an
===Enhancement Metals===
An Allomancer while burning [[Chromium]] is able to destroy another Allomancer's metals, just like Aluminum does to one's self.
A Misting who can only burn Chromium is known as a
This metal is still unknown by the end of [[Mistborn: The Hero of Ages]].
An Allomancer while burning [[Nicrosil]] can cause a target Allomancer currently burning metals to burn them in a brief, intense flash. While similar to [[Duralumin]], Nicrosil differs only because Duralumin is an internal metal (targeting the Allomancer burning it), and Nicrosil is an external metal (which targets other Allomancers).
A Misting who can only burn Nicrosil is known as a
This metal alloy is still unknown by the end of [[Mistborn: The Hero of Ages]].
A Mistborn who burns [[Aluminum]] causes all of their other metal reserves to be drained instantly, leaving them powerless.
A Misting who can only burn Aluminum is known as an
====Duralumin (Internal)====
A Mistborn that burns [[Duralumin]] causes a reaction with any of the other metals they are currently burning to create an exceptionally large flare of the metal, consuming the remaining supply. The exact degree to which Duralumin enhances the next metal burned is unknown but appears to be massive: burning Duralumin-enhanced pewter, Vin has exploded an assassin's skull with a hard head butt and later, with a single sword stroke, cut Straff Venture in half along with the horse he was sitting on at the time.
A Misting who can only burn Duralumin is known as a
==God Metals==
Atium is the most valuable metal in the world, and it is slowly mined from [[The Pits of Hathsin]]. The metal is mined by prisoners of the Lord Ruler, as using Allomancy near the Atium-producing crystals shatters them. This metal allows the Mistborn to see a few seconds into the future, thereby allowing them to anticipate the moves of an opponent. It also enhances the mind to cope with and understand these new insights, effectively turning a Mistborn invincible for a short time. Atium burns very quickly.
The only known counter to Atium is to burn it yourself, showing you what the other person will do. However, this in turn changes what you will do, which changes what the other person will do, creating a confusing
In the second book ([[Mistborn: The Well of Ascension]]) it is revealed that if someone burning Atium attacks someone not burning the metal there is a way to combat the Atium-burner. The person being attacked can allow their attacker to begin intercepting their future move before they make it allowing the victim to change what they are doing, and as the attacker is aware that the victim has no atium to burn they will see their victim's Atium shadow
Burning Atium in combination with Duralumin allows a Mistborn to see the ultimate effects of their immediate actions, and act accordingly.
It may be possible to alloy Atium with one of the other 16 Allomantic metals to create another alloy with a different Allomantic ability, such as Malatium which is Atium alloyed with [[Gold]].
A Misting who can only burn Atium is known as a
===Malatium (External)===
[[Malatium]] is an alloy of Atium and gold which allows an Allomancer to see who another person was in the past. This metal is referred to in legend as the Eleventh Metal.
===Lerasium (Internal)===
Pure Lerasium when ingested will turn the user into a Mistborn, where as Lerasium that is alloyed with one of the other 16 Allomantic metals will turn the user into a Misting of the metal used to alloy. Sanderson has stated in the annotations to the novels that this is not the 'primary' use of Lerasium, and that it would have an entirely different effect if burned by a Mistborn.
Lerasium is not actually one of the 16 Allomantic metals, though it is clearly related. In ''[[Mistborn: The Hero of Ages]]'' it is revealed that these beads are actually parts of the god Preservation's
