Kelsiers

Kelsiers are a fictional species featured in Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere universe, most notably in the Mistborn series. They are a type of human who possesses the ability to manipulate metals through a magic system known as Allomancy. This ability allows them to burn specific metals infused within their bodies to produce a range of powers. Kelsiers are often depicted as having a distinctive physical appearance, though the specifics can vary.

The most prominent characteristic of Kelsiers is their innate capacity for Allomancy. This magic is not learned but is instead a biological trait inherited through specific bloodlines. The ability to "burn" metals like Iron, Steel, Tin, Pewter, Copper, Bronze, Zinc, and Brass grants them powers such as enhanced physical abilities, the manipulation of emotions, the ability to "Push" or "Pull" on metals, and the detection of other Allomancers. These powers are fueled by the metals themselves, which must be ingested or otherwise absorbed into the Kelsier's system.

In the world of Mistborn, Kelsiers are often found in positions of power or influence due to their unique abilities. They have played pivotal roles in historical events and societal structures. The specific applications and cultural impact of Kelsier abilities are a central theme in the narratives they inhabit. Their presence has shaped the political landscapes and the very nature of conflict within their respective worlds.
