Metalminds begin in The Hero of Ages as the essential Feruchemical batteries—tinminds, steelminds, and their kin—through which Sazed and other Keepers store and retrieve physical, mental, and temporal attributes, becoming the quiet backbone of the rebellion’s logistics. By the time of The Lost Metal, the same concept has been industrialized: the Southern Scadrians mass-produce uniform metalminds, integrate them into airships and hazekiller gear, and even weaponize their stored speed and weight, transforming what was once a secretive Keeper discipline into a cornerstone of modern Allomantic–Feruchemical technology.
