Horseshoe Spikeway

Horseshoe Spikeway is a kinetic travel technique that transforms the humble iron horseshoe into a mobile anchor system for Allomantic steelpushing and ironpulling. First demonstrated in The Well of Ascension, the method lets a Coinshot drop horseshoes in sequence, retrieve them mid-flight, and chain successive pushes to achieve sustained forward motion across difficult terrain. Its reliance on a readily available, retrievable anchor makes it a signature innovation in Mistborn’s evolving Allomantic tactics.
