The '''Great Transfersion''', or the '''Day of Annexation''', was an act performed by [[Steelheart (Epic)|Steelheart]] near the beginning of his reign in [[Newcago]], presumably as part of his ploy to make as many people fear him as possible and thereby prevent his weakness from being used against him. In
Steelheart's transfersion ability, while very powerful, has some limitations. The effect radiates out from him like sound waves, transforming anything it touches into steel; however, anything already made of metal, especially steel or iron, reduces the effect of the power, and a sufficient amount can stop it entirely.{{book ref|Steelheart|25}} As a result, the contents of the bank vault of the [[First Union Bank (Newcago)|First Union Bank]] were mostly protected; the [[Reckoners]] eventually reach the vault and go through its contents while looking for clues to Steelheart's weakness. Living beings are also entirely unaffected by Steelheart's transfersion, as is anything very close to a living being.{{book ref|Steelheart|25}}{{book ref|Firefight|5}}
