== Allomantic Use ==
A duralumin [[Misting]] is known as a '''Duralumin Gnat'''. An Allomancer burning duralumin instantly uses up any metals being burned simultaneously, releasing an enormous burst of power from those metals{{book ref|aol|part=ars}}{{book ref|mb7|71}} . Due to this, the more metal they have on them upon burning duralumin, the greater the burst of power.{{book ref|mb7|71}} Duralumin itself is not completely consumed like metals it is burned in concert with, but it still continues to burn away at a steady rate.{{book ref|woa|5}}{{book ref|woa|8}} A Duralumin Gnat gains nothing from their powers.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}}
The use of duralumin could seriously hurt a [[Allomancy#Types of Allomancers|Mistborn]]. While burning [[tin]], the Mistborn risks being shocked by the sensory overload and becoming temporarily numb, blind, and deaf. A [[Steel|Push]] or [[Iron|Pull]] could become so strong it can feel like the Mistborn is being torn apart.{{book ref|mb2|8}}{{book ref|mb2|11}} When using duralumin, Mistborn usually burn pewter along with tin/iron/steel to avoid injuries.
