{{quote|Later that night, he performed the Great Transfersion, an awesome display of power by which he transformed most of Chicago—buildings, vehicles, streets—into steel. That included a large portion of Lake Michigan, which became a glassy expanse of black metal. It was there that he built his palace.|[[David]]{{book ref|Steelheart|prologue}}}}
The '''Great Transfersion'''
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]] are 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}}
