The paired alloy of tin used in the Metallic Arts is [[pewter]].

A tin [[Misting]] is known as a '''Tineye'''. Burning tin grants a Tineye increased sensitivity in all five senses.{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}} Furthermore, due to Allomancy's origin with [[Preservation]], they are able to see through the [[mist]]s that cover Scadrial.{{book ref|mb1|8}} They may also be able to see through the gaseous Investiture of other Shards, though this is not a native power.{{wob ref|15258}}{{wob ref|15546}}{{book ref|yumi|40}}

A Tineye can flare tin, causing a huge burst of sensory input, to clear their head from pain or exhaustion.{{book ref|mb1|25}} Tin will allow the Tineye to see in areas of low light, but does not allow the user to see in total darkness.{{book ref|mb1|5}} Tineyes cannot see through their own eyelids.{{book ref|mb3|16}}

If someone were able to burn the amount of tin needed to become an Allomantic [[savant]] with the metal, any normal light would become too bright for them. However, their other senses would become so attuned that they can feel and hear well enough to make up for the lack of vision. Since the body grows dependent on the metal, a Tineye savant could stop burning tin and could gain resistant to pain or other senses. Burning tin for long periods puts a lot of strain on the body and mind.{{wob ref|5448}}{{wob ref|7521}}{{wob ref|7551}}

A tin [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Windwhisperer'''. Tin is used to store sensitivity of senses. One sense may be stored each in a tinmind and a different tinmind must be used for each sense.{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}} Unlike an Allomancer burning tin, it does not allow a Windwhisperer to see things that would be otherwise unobservable; instead, it compounds the potency of their senses currently available.{{book ref|mb3|66}} While storing senses, those senses become weaker. For example, [[Sazed]] wore glasses while storing eyesight.{{book ref|mb1|22}}

It is possible for a Windwhisperer to store more than the five traditional senses in a tinmind.{{wob ref|3387}} An example of this would be the ability to feel pain.{{wob ref|10519}}{{book ref|mb7|34}} It might be possible to store Allomantically granted senses like [[bronze]] sense.{{wob ref|9199}}

The [[kandra]] can use a pair of these spikes as a [[Blessing]] and call them the '''Blessing of Awareness'''.{{book ref|mb3|part=ars}} Like all kandra Blessings, the Blessing gives the [[mistwraith]]s sentience, with the added benefit of heightened senses.{{epigraph ref|mb3|38}}

== Fabrial Use ==

A [[fabrial]] with a tin cage will suppress the element corresponding with the trapped spren, creating a diminisher fabrial. For example, a [[painrial]], which dampens pain in its vicinity.{{epigraph ref|sa4|10}}

* [[Brandon Sanderson|Brandon]] originally planned on giving the Allomantic powers of tin to [[silver]], falsely assuming that [[pewter]] had a high quantity of silver.{{wob ref|2391}} After changing it, he was concerned that [[Vin's earring]] might be confusing, so it became 'silver coated'.{{wob ref|7957}}

* In 2015, Brandon said that the Allomantic symbol for tin is also sometimes used to represent Allomancy in general because [[Dragonsteel Entertainment]] likes how it looks.{{wob ref|815}}
