Allomancer[edit]
Sorcerer Subclass
You are a person who knows how to use metals to catalyze magic by ingesting them, but be aware, most of them could kill you. You can only use a tiny percentage of all the metals in the periodic table and if you ingest a metal that can not be burned, you could get ill or even die. As an allomancer you could ingest dust of metals, burn them inside your stomach and gain powers as a result. Depending on the metal you burn you can achieve different goals. Normally you will use vials especially prepared for allomancers with alcohol or water and some metal dust, however if you see yourself in need of power but don't have any vial nearby, its probable that you as an allomancer can become creative by searching some alternative source of metal to ingest. This option comes with some risk because it is necessary a pure source of metal if you don't want to get ill. Finally, it is necessary to say that if an allomancer goes to sleep for a long time (for example at night) without burning the metal he has ingested, they will be treated as what they are, metal, and could not only harm the allomancer's body from the inside but also make the carrier sick.
There are two main ways to become an allomancer:
Bloodline. Allomancy powers are heritable, so if you have an allomancer in one of your previous five generations you could born with this latent power hidden inside you. Is hidden because you can't be an allomancer only by being born with it, first you need to pass the process of snapping. Snapping commonly occurs when an Allomancer undergoes heavy stress and pain, often in a near-death situation, causing them to trigger latent Allomantic abilities.
Inquisitor. If an evil enough person is able to kill an allomancer with a spike of the appropriate metal, he can transfer one allomantic power per spike to another person by driving it into a person's body. In order to create a complete allomancer, or in other words, a Mistborn, it is necessary to insert the spikes in specific points of the body, including the eyes, and make a metal spine with one spike to seal the soul inside the body. These artificial creatures are called inquisitors. An inquisitor cannot see as any other person would do because he has no eyes, instead, he has two spikes inserted in their eye sockets, inquisitors see the world of magic, they draw their world around them by detecting sources of metal inside, for example, objects or walls, and they see the people by detecting the iron inside their veins or the zinc on their brain as well as all the metal we are made of. As you can imagine inquisitors can not distinguish colors all what they see are magical blue lines. Inquisitors could be considered undead creatures so if you want to kill them by making tiny cuts you would find that is gonna be hard because they don't bleed. The only way to kill an inquisitor is to separate the spikes from their head from the rest of the body, the easiest way to do this is by pulling out the spike between their scapulas, which is their metal spine.
Physical Metals[edit]
When you pick this origin at 1st level you know 4 metals you can ingest as powder in order to gain certain advantages. Depending of the metal you burn, you get one of the following benefits:
Steel. As an action, You can push metallic objects that are lighter than you, in combination, up to a distance of 60ft. If you try to push any metal heavier than you, you are instead repelled. If you are been repelled upwards, you can reach up to 60ft of height. You can achieve this effect burning one vial of steel powder.

Bronze. As an action, You sense the presence of magic within 30 feet of you. If you sense magic in this way, you can use your action to sense the direction in which the source comes from and to see a faint aura around any visible creature or object in the area that bears magic, and you learn its school of magic, if any. This can penetrate most barriers, except of a copper bubble of greater intensity and a thin layer of aluminum. A vial of bronze powder lasts for 10 minute.
