A Misting who can only burn [[Brass]] is known as a "Soother".

An Allomancer burning [[Copper]] is able to hide themselves and others from "Seekers" by hiding Allomantic vibrations caused by burning metals. The radius of effect around an Allomancer burning copper is known as a "coppercloud" (Hence the name copper Mistings go by). In strike teams copper-burning Allomancers are extremely helpful to keep from being caught by a Seeker, or a Mistborn burning [[bronze]], though a Mistborn or Seeker pierced with a bronze Hemalurgic spike can pierce copperclouds and feel the dampened Allomantic vibrations. In addition, by burning copper, one is immune to emotional Allomancy (though this immunity is not shared by others within the coppercloud). When using Allomancy, Mistborn will usually burn this metal first before using other metals in order to hide their Allomantic powers from Steel Inquisitors or other Allomancers. [[Copper]] burns slowly, so many Mistborn continue to burn [[copper]]Copper most if not all of the time.

A Misting who can only burn [[Copper]] is known as a "Coppercloud" or "Smoker".

An Allomancer burning [[Bronze]] is able to determine if someone else is using Allomancy in the immediate area. With practice, an Allomancer can determine the location of the other Allomancer, which metal the other Allomancer is burning, and to what extent the other Allomancer is burning his or her metal. An exceedingly powerful Allomancer is able to pierce the "invisibility" of copperclouds. An alternative to being an Allomancer is having a bronze hemuralgic spike placed through oneself.

A Misting who can only burn [[Bronze]] is known as a "Seeker".
