'''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 feelpattern (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 ===
 
=== 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:
 
* Feruchemy{{wob ref|6113}}{{book ref|mb7|25}}
* [[Surgebinding]], including being able differentiate between [[Surge]]s{{wob ref|8851}}
