'''Nicrosil''' is the external enhancement pushing metal. An Allomancer burning nicrosil is able to enhance the effects of another Allomancer's powers. Feruchemists can use nicrosil to store Investiture, and when used as a Hemalurgic spike, nicrosil steals Investiture. While the exact composition of Allomantic or Feruchemical nicrosil is unknown, real-world nicrosil is an alloy primarily of nickel, with some [[chromium]] and a small amount of silicon.
==Feruchemical Use==
A nicrosil [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Soulbearer'''. Nicrosil is used to store [[Investiture]]. This ability is not understood (even by those who utilize it).{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} A Soulbearer storing Investiture stores their ability to use their Investiture. Therefore, a Soulbearer could store their ability to use Feruchemy and another person tapping it would be turned into a temporary Feruchemist who has the ability to fill a metalmind (assuming the nicrosilmind was [[Aluminum|unsealed]]).{{book ref|mb6|21}} Among other things, a nicrosilmind can be used to store the Divine [[Breath]] of the [[Returned]] and the ability to use various [[surge]]s of the [[Knights Radiant]].{{wob ref|3236}}
