Gold Healing

Lore & Background

The most prominent example of Gold Healing in the source is Miles Dagouter, a former lawman turned leader of the Vanishers. He is a Twinborn with the ability to heal any wounds to himself almost instantly due to both Feruchemical and Allomantic gifts with Gold. This earns him the name "Miles Hundredlives." During the final battle at the bandits' hideout, Wax and Marasi must distract Miles long enough for Wayne to fetch law officers to subdue and capture him. Miles is eventually stripped of his metalminds and publicly executed, suggesting that removing his metalminds neutralizes his healing ability. The source does not mention any genetic mutations, resurrection of others, or risks to the user's mental state.

In Their Own Story

The air smelled of ozone and old blood as Wax confronted Miles Dagouter in the bandits' hideout. Miles had been shot multiple times, but each wound closed almost as quickly as it appeared. Wax knew that Miles was a Twinborn with the ability to cure any injury almost immediately. The only way to stop him was to distract him long enough for Wayne to fetch enough law officers to subdue and capture him. Marasi used her Allomantic ability to slow down time inside a speed bubble, giving Wayne the precious seconds he needed. In the end, Miles was stripped of his metalminds and publicly executed, his healing power finally neutralized.

Reader's Guide

Gold Healing in the source is exclusively demonstrated by Miles Dagouter, a Twinborn who can heal any wounds to himself almost instantly. This ability comes from having both Allomantic and Feruchemical gifts with Gold. The source does not describe how to use this power, only that it exists and makes Miles extremely difficult to kill. The only way to stop him is to strip him of his metalminds, as happens during his capture and subsequent public execution. The source does not mention any other users of Gold Healing, nor does it describe any risks, genetic mutations, or resurrection of others.
