'''Brass''' is the external mental pushing metal. An Allomancer burning brass is able to dampen the emotions of those around them. It can be targeted at a single person or a group. Feruchemists can use brass to store warmth, and when used as a Hemalurgic spike, brass steals Cognitive Feruchemical powers.
 
 
Very powerful Soothing can put a Hemalurgic creature under complete control, and once controlled, the Soothing is no longer required. This can be achieved by a single [[Allomancy|Mistborn]] or [[hemalurgy|Hemalurgist]] burning [[duralumin]] and brass together, a combination of a [[nicrosil|Nicroburst]] and a Soother, or a group of Soothers and/or Rioters working together, though in the early days of [[Final Empire]], when Allomancy was much more powerful, a single Soother was able to do it.{{book ref|mb2|54}}{{book ref|mb3|3}}{{epigraph ref|mb3|21}}
 
Soothing can be stopped by an [[aluminum]]-lined hat and possibly by aluminum over the Soother's chest.{{wob ref|8223}}
 
After the [[Catacendre]], it is unlawful for a business to use emotional Allomancy to influence customers.{{book ref|mb5|14}} This was one of the provisions of the [[Allomantic Agreement of '94]]. There is evidence of consensual emotional counselling.{{book ref|mb4|2}}
 
=== Savantism ===
Savanthood is less debilitating for Soothers compared to other metals.{{wob ref|14917}}
 
== Feruchemical Use ==
{{icon|brass|F|150px|thumb|right|The Feruchemical symbol for brass}}
A brass [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Firesoul'''. Brass is used to store warmth. While filling a brassmind, a Firesoul will be cool.{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}} A Firesoul's body, not unlike a [[iron|Skimmer]]'s, is able to resist the higher temperatures of their Feruchemy, but are not immune to intense heat in general.{{wob ref|1097}} By cooling the body by filling a brassmind, however, one could resist higher temperatures; heat would flow to the colder region of their body and then get stored in the brassmind, allowing one to become immune to fire and other sources of intense heat by carefully regulating the rate at which one filled their metalmind.{{wob ref|1097}}
 
=== Compounding ===
It is difficult, but possible, for a brass [[Compounding|Compounder]] canto create so much warmth that they can hurt themselves in the process.{{wob ref|5025}}
 
== Hemalurgic Use ==
When used as a [[Hemalurgic]] spike, brass steals Cognitive Feruchemical powers ([[zinc]], brass, [[copper]], and [[bronze]]).{{file ref| Hemalurgy table.jpg | Hemalurgy Table}}
 
== Fabrial Use ==
A [[fabrial]] with a brass cage will reduce the strength of the fabrial's function.{{epigraph ref|sa4|7}}
