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.
