A '''Twinborn''' is a [[Metalborn]] with at least one [[Allomantic]] power and one [[Feruchemical]] power.
 
Twinborn only began to appear after the [[Final Ascension]], due to the intermingling of the [[Terris]] people with the other citizens of the [[Final Empire]]. This mingling also had the effect of diluting Feruchemical power, creating [[Ferring]]s.{{book ref|mb5|part=ars}} The interaction of Feruchemy and [[Allomancy]] in a single person allows for practical benefits of the power ([[Gold|Bloodmaker]]s healing in a time bubble, [[Coinshot]]s augmenting their weight with Feruchemical [[iron]]), etc.
Notable Twinborn included [[Waxillium Ladrian]], [[Wayne]], and [[Miles Dagouter]].{{book ref|mb4|11}}

It should be noted however, that it is difficult to be born a [[Allomancy|Mistborn]] and full Feruchemist. This is due to fact that they share portions of the individual's "spiritual DNA"{{wob ref|3440}}, thus making a full manifestation of both abilities almost completely impossible. Whether this means someone can be born a full Mistborn and Ferring or full Feruchemist and Misting is yet to be determined.
 
=== Resonance ===
Twinborn, individuals who are both [[Ferring]]s and [[Misting]]s, also have resonances].{{book ref|mb5|part=ars}} [[Resonance|Resonances]]s are additional powers or effects gained by people with access to more than one [[Investiture|Invested Art]] or [[Surge]].{{wob ref|4570}} This is described as the two powers combining to create an effect, implying that Twinborn resonances are not a new power all together.{{book ref|mb5|part=ars}} [[Waxillium Ladrian]]'s ability to create a "[[steel#Allomantic Use|steel bubble]]" to deflect metal moving around him{{book ref|mb4|1}} was originally intended to be the result of him being a [[savant]] in the resonance between his [[steel#Allomantic Use|Allomantic steel]] and [[iron#Feruchemical Use|Feruchemical iron]]. Brandon later indicated that may not still be accurate, as he realized Wax was not manifesting the usual consequences of savantism.{{wob ref|1563}}{{wob ref|8115}}
