The '''Metallic Arts''' are the three prime manifestations of [[Investiture]] on [[Scadrial]]. They consist of [[Allomancy]], [[Feruchemy]], and [[Hemalurgy]]. All three utilize certain metal alloys and each manifest specific abilities in the user (namely, metal is not the source of their power, but metal is their [[focus]]). There are eight basic metals, each with an alloy, for a total of sixteen metals. In addition, there are are two pure ''God Metals'', and one known alloyalloys of thesethem.

The '''God metalsMetals''' are metals formed directly from a [[Shard]]. Previously only the Godgod Metalsmetals of [[Ruin]] and [[Preservation]] were known, however new Godgod Metalsmetals can be made from any Shard.{{wob ref|2530}} They can be alloyed with the lesser metals to form sixteen different metals each, though few are known. It seems of some importance that in the Wax and Wayne series it says that atium is no longer 'commonly' available. The vessel of the Shard can slightly change the properties of its god metal over time, but not the main functions of what it does.{{wob ref|2554}}
