Horseshoe Spikeway

Magic System

Rusty iron horseshoes (~standard size) used as Push/Pull anchors; dropped sequentially, retrieved mid-air for continuous forward jumps; anchors in mud for speed

The Horseshoe Spikeway emerges in *The Well of Ascension* as an ingenious Allomantic travel technique, where coinpushers drop rusty iron horseshoes sequentially as temporary anchors to propel themselves forward in continuous leaps. This method maximizes speed by retrieving the horseshoes mid-air and even anchoring in mud for enhanced momentum, showcasing the resourcefulness of skaa rebels amid the escalating siege of Luthadel. Though not prominently featured in later books, it exemplifies the evolving ingenuity in coinshot mobility that influences Mistborn tactics throughout the series.
