Aluminum
itemLightweight silvery-white metal ingestible by Allomancers. When burned, uniquely depletes all other internal metal reserves simultaneously. Rare material associated with Steel Inquisitors.
Aluminum emerges in the Mistborn saga as a rare, silvery-white metal whose Allomantic properties prove devastatingly simple: when burned, it instantly wipes every other metal reserve from an Allomancer’s system. First encountered in the chaos of siege and betrayal during The Well of Ascension, the metal is initially tied to the enigmatic Steel Inquisitors, who appear uniquely able to wield or tolerate it. Its scarcity and the finality of its effect immediately mark it as both a tactical trump card and a strategic liability for any Mistborn or Mistings who cross its path.
