His plan was two-pronged: first, to ensure that Rashek would be killed, thus opening the way to the Well for others; second, to create someone who would enter the Well and release the power. For the first, he manipulated [[Kelsier]], a [[skaa]] [[allomancy\|Mistborn]], with fabricated tales of the so-called Eleventh Metal, [[malatium]], convincing him that it would be the key to defeating the Lord Ruler; which, in a way, it turned out to be.{{epigraph ref\|mb3\|24}} For the second, Ruin picked a perfect pawn: another skaa Mistborn, a ~~baby~~ girl named [[Vin]] with an insane mother and an infant [[Allomancer]] sister. Speaking to the mother, Ruin caused her to kill the ~~older~~younger daughter and fashion a Hemalurgic spike out of her, then pierce Vin with the spike.{{epigraph ref\|mb3\|74}} Vin, unaware of this, eventually started wearing the spike as an earring and refused to give it up due to Ruin's influence, thus letting him subtly manipulate her.{{epigraph ref\|mb3\|75}} He did so mostly through the voice of her deceased brother, [[Reen]].{{book ref\|mb3\|54}} Eventually, the Well filled again, and Vin entered its chamber.
