Duralumin Pull
Magic SystemDuralumin-enhanced ironpull on multiple metal frames shattering stained-glass windows inward as glass/metal shrapnel storm, enabling room-clearing corpse pushes
Duralumin Pull emerges in The Well of Ascension as a devastating battlefield technique that combines the raw power of duralumin with iron Allomancy, allowing a single Pull to rip metal from its moorings and turn it into a lethal shrapnel storm. Across the series, this technique evolves from a desperate room-clearing maneuver into a signature tactic of Vin’s combat style, later refined by other Coinshots and Mistborn who learn to modulate the burst for precision strikes rather than pure destruction. By the era of Shadows of Self and The Bands of Mourning, the same principle is weaponized at industrial scale, with duralumin-enhanced Pulls used to dismantle armored vehicles and airships in seconds.
