'''Bronze''' is the internal mental pushing metal. An Allomancer burning bronze is able to detect the presence of Allomancy being used nearby, sounding like drum beats to the Seeker's ears. Feruchemists can use bronze to store wakefulness, and when used as a Hemalurgic spike, bronze steals Mental Allomantic powers.

Bronze is the alloy paired with [[copper]] in the Metallic Arts.

== Allomantic Use ==
A bronze [[Misting]] is known as a '''Seeker'''. When a Seeker burns bronze, they are able to detect nearby use of Allomancy or Feruchemy,{{book ref|mb7|25}}{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}} or any form of [[Investiture| Kinetic Investiture]].{{wob ref|6113}}  The Seeker feels pulses, like beats of a drum, emanating from the person burning a metal. The metals are grouped into fast (external) and slow (internal), pushing and pulling, and have their own signature pattern (Physical, Mental, Temporal, and Enhancement). This is how it is known that bronze is a Pushing metal, while copper is Pulling.{{book ref|mb1|20}}

It is easier to sense an Allomancer flaring their metal.{{wob ref|11499}} A talented Seeker can detect which parts of a person’s emotions a [[Soother]] or [[Rioter]] intends to inﬂuence, and who they are targeting.{{book ref|mb2|20}} They could also tell when someone is ﬂaring their metal or when they’re running low on metals.{{book ref|mb1|20}}

The pulses detected by a Seeker are related to the [[Rhythm|tone]] of [[Preservation]].{{wob ref|14482}} If a [[singer]] were to become a Seeker or Mistborn, they'd find bronze pulses familiar, though strange.{{wob ref|11606}}

It is possible for a skilled enough Seeker to detect the use of Feruchemy, although this is a skill that only the rarest of practitioners have access to.{{book ref|mb7|25}}{{wob ref|5495}}{{wob ref|6113}} The reason for this is due to Feruchemy being far more internal than Allomancy, and therefore the pulses are harder to detect and read,{{wob ref|3417}} and it requires a special tweak in order to do so.{{wob ref|6113}} 

=== Savantism ===
If someone were able to burn the amount of bronze needed to become an Allomantic [[savant]] with the metal, their range would be expanded{{epigraph ref|mb3|16}} and they might be able to pierce [[Copper|copperclouds]] depending on their relative strength.{{wob ref|4303}} A savant would also be able to tell the difference between regular Allomancy and [[Compounding]].{{wob ref|2293}} Due to Seekers' tendency to constantly burn bronze, many have become savants unknowingly.{{epigraph ref|mb3|16}}

Savantism likely explains why Marsh was able to determine pulse origin only after a few months, an ability he attributes to practice.

=== Detecting Investiture ===
It is theoretically possible for bronze Allomancy to detect any kinetic [[Investiture]],{{book ref|tsm|12}}{{wob ref|6649}}{{wob ref|6113}} though it has trouble finding inactive wells of power.{{wob ref|11910}} 
Bronze can detect:

* [[Surgebinding]], including being able differentiate between [[Surge]]s{{wob ref|8851}} 
* [[AonDor]]{{wob ref|3008}}
* [[Awakening]]{{wob ref|3008}} 
* The Rhythms of [[Roshar]]{{wob ref|2031}} 
* Shardblades when summoned{{wob ref|7413}}

== Feruchemical Use ==
A bronze [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Sentry'''. Bronze is used to store wakefulness. It allows the Sentry to stay awake for extended periods of time, or to heighten awareness. A Sentry filling a bronzemind becomes drowsy, and may sleep in a coma-like trance.{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}}{{book ref|mb2|57}} It is the only type of metalmind a Feruchemist can store into while sleeping.{{book ref|mb2|50}} Caffeine can be used to generate extra wakefulness, but it would feel different upon being tapped.{{wob ref|14739}}

=== Compounding ===
A bronze [[Compounding|Compounder]] would be able to use bronze to have a nearly infinite supply of a good night's sleep, and therefore would never need to sleep.{{wob ref|12772}}

== Hemalurgic Use ==
When used as a Hemalurgic spike, bronze steals Mental Allomantic powers ([[zinc]], [[brass]], [[copper]], and bronze).{{file ref| Hemalurgy table.jpg | Hemalurgy Table}}

== Fabrial Use ==
A [[fabrial]] with a bronze cage will create a warning fabrial.{{epigraph ref|sa4|8}}
