== The First Contract ==
As the power from the Well of Ascension was waning, [[Rashek]], as the newly ascended Lord Ruler, spoke into the minds of his packmen and trusted friends in a secret communication that Ruin could not see or hear.{{qa ref|727|9|Rashek spoke directly to their minds.|date=?}} Rashek shared with them his Ascension knowledge of Ruin's future plans of eventual freedom to destroy the world, resulting in the kandra Contract with Rashek, and containing secret instructions only communicated in their minds.
Rashek's friends were Feruchemists and could not be given Allomancy, for he recognized their powers posed a threat of any combined abilities like his own. He offered them a bargain, immortality in exchange for their Feruchemy. All of them -- expect Kwaan, who, too, was given that choice by Rashek -- agreed and gave up their Feruchemy, along with their humanity. The Lord Ruler then transformed every living Feruchemist into a mistwraith, but he returned his good friends to sentience with Hemalurgic spikes, the Blessings. His companions still live, as the very Terris packmen, who climbed to the Well of Ascension with him, became the First Generation. Besides the whole time during his reign he tried to breed Feruchemy out of the Terris population, in fear that someday someone would be born with both Feruchemy and Allomancy.{{book ref|mb3|22}}

;[[Blessing of Presence]]: A pair of copper spikes which granted increased mental capability.{{book ref|mb3|12}} This capability included the ability to focus despite physical discomfort or distraction, exceptionally sharp memory, resistance to madness, and the inability to lapse into unconsciousness due to shock.{{book ref|mb3|2}}{{book ref|mb3|24}} This Blessing also countered at least some of the mental weakness that was caused by Hemalurgy; kandra with these spikes were much less vulnerable to being controlled by Ruin than is the norm.{{qa ref|727|17|OreSeur resistant to Ruin's manipulations|date=?}}
;[[Blessing of Stability]]: Rarely used, the Blessing of Stability was a pair of zinc spikes that endowed its receiver with emotional fortitude, rendering them much more resistant to control by emotional Allomancy.{{book ref|mb3|12}}
