What are the different magic systems in Mistborn?

What are the different magic systems in Mistborn?

In Mistborn, there are primarily two magic systems: Allomancy and Feruchemy. Allomancy involves ingesting and 'burning' metals to gain various powers, while Feruchemy allows users to store attributes in metal objects for later use.

Can you explain how Allomancy works?

Sure! Allomancy is based on the use of 16 different metals, each granting a specific power. For example, burning iron allows a Mistborn to pull themselves towards a metal object, while burning steel lets them push away from it.

What about Feruchemy? How is it different?

Feruchemy is different in that it involves storing attributes like strength or speed in metal objects called metalminds. Users can then tap into these stored attributes later, making it more about preparation and resource management.

Are there any other magic systems in the Mistborn series?

Yes, there's also Hemalurgy, which involves stealing powers from one person and giving them to another through the use of metal spikes. It's a darker and more complex system compared to Allomancy and Feruchemy.
