yeah. He's convinced me. it couldn't be hemalurgy. Brandon himself says that 'they [the mists] had fueled her Allomancy"
Of course, Vin could be wrong, but i think she would know.
However, i do not believe that what we are seeing is mists being repelled. I think they are being burned. What is the basic, overriding principle of Allomancy? You burn metals to accomplish something, whether that is increasing your senses, strength, etc. With mists it is the same basic principle; they are being burned to accomplish something. They are not being repelled; they are melting away.
It could simply be that this is a technique that has been lost over the centuries to Mistborn; we know the Mistborn of old were more powerful. They certainly forgot about other things, such as the last six metals.
I think the earring has something to do with her being able to break through bronzeclouds. After all, the only time she has been able to use the mists was to fight TLR, but she can break bronzeclouds all the time.
