== Feruchemical Use ==
An iron [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Skimmer'''. Iron is used to store or retrieve (gain) physical mass.{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}} This is accomplished by changing the Skimmer's mass, not by changing the effect of gravity on the Skimmer, i.e. it does not modify weight directly. This change does not affect things that the Skimmer wears, but is great enough that a Skimmer storing
A Skimmer tapping iron can grow proportionally heavier than normal, and although this is not as useful as storing mass in many cases, it has significant martial applications. Specifically, by tapping iron during key moments, Skimmers can add force to their blows, and can use added weight to withstand attacks. It can be used to counter Coinshots or Lurchers, for example, by increasing weight when pushed, one can instead push the Coinshot back. Furthermore, the added mass from tapping an ironmind can wreak havoc with steelpushes/ironpulls if the Skimmer is being used as the anchor.{{book ref|mb2|58}}
