→‎Twinborn and Compounders: change Terris and nobles to "those of noble descent." Weren't many mistings (and potentially misborn?) in Era 1 ska that escaped death required by the Lord Ruler? Thinking of his laws regarding dalliances of nobles with ska as one example, may be other allomancers not in noble society too.

=== Twinborn and Compounders === After the [[Final Empire]], Terris and ~~nobles~~those of noble descent began to interbreed, so it became possible for their descendants to have one Allomantic ability and one [[Feruchemy\|Feruchemical]] ability. People with such powers were called '''[[Twinborn]]'''. Like Mistings, Twinborn were each given a name depending on their specific combination of abilities.{{book ref\|mb4\|1}} The interaction between the two abilities creates a new, secondary effect, known as a [[Resonance]].{{book ref\|mb5\|part=ars}} A special type of Twinborn is a '''[[Compounding\|Compounder]]''' -- a Twinborn who has the same metal for both their Allomantic and Feruchemical abilities. A Compounder can Allomantically burn their Feruchemically charged metalmind, gaining a massive burst of the stored Feruchemical attribute. Compounders were considered immensely powerful. Though the term "Compounding" first appeared in Scadrian vocabulary ''after'' the Final Empire, perhaps the most famous Compounder was the [[Lord Ruler]] himself -- by constantly Compounding atium, pewter, and gold, he was eternally young, supernaturally strong, and basically unkillable.
