Ruin's Allomantic Pulses

Ruin's Allomantic Pulses first manifest in The Hero of Ages as an invasive, telepathic force that penetrates matter and overwhelms the senses with a fatherly yet oppressive presence. Across the series, these pulses evolve from subtle, muddled thumps into a pervasive, reality-warping phenomenon that directly manipulates emotions and thoughts, symbolizing Ruin's growing influence over the world. Their wet, misty touch and enormous waves underscore the unstoppable tide of entropy that Ruin embodies, ultimately serving as both a warning and a weapon in the climactic struggle for the fate of Scadrial.
