Difference between revisions of "Twinborn"

If the Twinborn is fortunate enough to obtain the Allomantic and Feruchemical abilities of the same metal, they can practice [[Compounding]]. Initially seen in The Final Empire, the [[Lord Ruler]] is able to compound all the metals (as a result of his Terris birth and later giving himself Allomancy). After the Lord Ruler's death, Sazed theorizes about his ability to use Allomancy and Feruchemy together which therefore granted him the ability to rapidly heal, maintain a young age and be amazingly strong. Compounding was a one-time occurrence during the time of the Lord Ruler due to the fact that Feruchemists and Allomancers did not commonly mix sexually (a strict breeding program was enforced on the Terris people) and therefore could not genetically mix the powers. Compounding is seen throughout Alloy of Law in the case of Miles Dagouter and his extraordinary ability to heal by compounding gold due to being born a Bloodmaker and Augur.
