Ok, so: “Allomancy, obviously, is of Preservation. The rational mind will see this. For, in the case of Allomancy, net power is gained. It is provided by an external source--Preservation's own body.” —Harmony on Allomancy But this seems off to me. Could Harmony have been wrong? We know that he was not all-knowing. His mind "expanded" but that only implies that he is able to logic things out better, not that he gains new knowledge, right? To me the statement "Allomancy, obviously, is of Preservation...For, in the case of Allomancy, net power is gained." seems inherently wrong. Why would a force of preventing change oversee an ability that gives power? Even the way that the statement is structured seems to imply that he is "logic-ing" it out with the information he has, which is that there are only two Shards. But what if there is or was another?

Yeah, I suppose Lerasium granting Allomancy throws a pretty big wrench in that theory, but it wouldn't be the first time ability granted by a god metal is strangely different from its god... Edit: The only thing I can think of is that what we thought was Lerasium was actually Trellium, but that would be very unlikely and would throw out a lot of things that we have been taking as fact for a long time. I still do think it's strange, though, that Preservation works with an end-positive power when there is an end-neutral power that also exists.

I don't think this has been mentioned, but has it been explicitly stated that Allomancy is of Preservation, Hemalurgy of Ruin, and Ferochemy of both combined? Because it seems strange to me that Preservation would be of power that is end-positive? Wouldn't it make sense that Preservation would be of an end-neutral power, like Ferochemy? So, perhaps Ferochemy is of Preservation, Hemalurgy of Ruin, and Allomancy of Trell. This would also explain to my why Miles, whose powers were super end-positive, would be a worshipper of Trell. What do you guys think?
