== Allomantic Use ==
A brass [[Misting]] is known as a '''Soother'''. Emotional Allomancy is not mind control, but it does allow the practitioner to influence the emotions of those around
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}}

While filling a brassmind, a Feruchemist will be cool.{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}} A Brass Ferring's body, not unlike an [[Iron]] Ferring's, is able to resist the higher temperatures of their Feruchemy, but is not immune to intense heat in general. {{qa ref|977|30|As everything in Feruchemy, you become immune to the effects of the ability only.|date=Sep, 2012}} By cooling the body by filling a brassmind, however, one could resist higher temperatures - heat would flow to the colder region that is your body, allowing one to become immune to fire and other sources of intense heat by carefully regulating the rate at which one filled their metalmind. {{qa ref|977|30|Growing colder, however, would be more helpful in this regard.|date=Sep, 2012}}
=== Compounding ===
It is difficult, but possible, for a brass [[Compounding|Compounder]] to create so much warmth that they can hurt themselves in the process.{{wob ref|5025}}

When used as a [[Hemalurgic]] spike, brass steals
== Fabrial Use ==
A [[fabrial]] with a brass cage will reduce the strength of the fabrial's function.{{epigraph ref|sa4|7}}
== Trivia ==
*Brandon made a mistake while writing [[The Well of Ascension]]. The Feruchemical effects of brass and [[electrum]] were to be swapped. By the time he realized this was forgotten, however, the book was already in print. Brandon didn't want to retcon this, so the effect of brass was canonized.{{
