Core Systems
- Allomancy — Genetic trait system. Dormant potential activates via "snapping" into Misting types or full Mistborn.
- Lord Ruler Attention — Variable (0–100) tracking defiance; escalating consequences.
- Compounding — Allomantic + Feruchemical overlap triggers on yearly pulse.
- Hemalurgy — Spike-based power transfer system.
