Allomaisia

Allomaisia is a fictional magic system originating from Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere universe, particularly prominent in the Mistborn series. It is a form of metallic arts, where individuals called Allomancers can ingest and burn specific metals to gain supernatural abilities. The effectiveness of Allomancy depends on the user's ability to metabolize the ingested metal.

There are sixteen known Allomantic metals, each granting a distinct power. For example, burning Pewter enhances physical attributes like strength and durability, while Tin sharpens the senses. Steel allows for the manipulation of metals, enabling actions like "pushing" or "pulling" on metallic objects. Lurching, the opposite of Steelpushing, is achieved by burning Iron. Other metals, like Copper and Bronze, are used for mental abilities such as suppressing or detecting Allomantic pulses.

Allomancy is an inherited trait, passed down through bloodlines. Individuals with the ability are often identified and trained by organizations like the Lord Ruler's Final Empire or later revolutionary groups. The complexity of Allomancy arises from the interplay between different metals and the skill of the Allomancer in combining their powers. Advanced practitioners can achieve remarkable feats, making Allomancy a crucial element in the narrative and world-building of the Mistborn novels.
