- Allomancy is a form-based magic. The molecular structure of particular metals allow Preservation's Investiture to flow into the Allomancer in the same way the Dor would flow into an Elantrian's Aons. This Investiture somehow is able to grant the Allomancer enhanced abilities. 

- A Net-Positive system, as it takes energy from an outside force - in this case, Preservation's Investiture. 

- An efficient Investiture system, it gives out no light or visible signs of power. A particular variant of Allomancer - the Seeker, can trace Allomancer's by their allomantic signature however, pulses able to measured by wavelengths.
