An aluminum [[Misting]] is known as an '''Aluminum Gnat'''. Burning aluminum causes the body to instantly metabolize its metal reserves without any other effect.{{wob ref|2461}} As such, an Aluminum Gnat gains no useable powers from their Allomancy,{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} however, it can be used to negate effects of other Investiture such as Withering.{{wob ref|6374}} Only Allomantically relevant metals can be burned away.{{wob ref|12563}} Allomancy does not affect aluminum even though the metal itself is Allomantically viable.{{book ref|mb1|36}}
Since aluminum can shield against emotional Allomancy, those who can afford to, often wear [[Wikipedia:Tin foil hat|hats]] with aluminum lining.{{book ref|mb5|1}} It can also be used to block [[bronze#Allomantic Use|Allomantic bronze]].{{wob ref|8897}}

Aluminum cannot be [[Awakening|Awakened]]. It is possible for aluminum to prevent someone from [[Returned|Returning]], but not simply by stabbing the body: aluminum is inert and blocks Investiture, but does not actively absorb it.{{wob ref|6364}} Aluminum can also block an Awakener's life sense.{{wob ref|8897}}
[[Nightblood]]'s sheath is made of aluminum.{{wob ref|8162}} On Roshar, a [[Fused]] uses Nightblood's sheath to block an attack from [[Szeth]], who was wielding Nightblood.
