'''Copper''' is the internal mental pulling metal. An Allomancer burning copper is able to hide Allomantic pulses emanating from those around him, and is immune to emotional Allomancy. Feruchemists can use copper to store memories, and when used as a Hemalurgic spike, copper steals mental fortitude.▼

== Allomantic Use ==
A copper [[Misting]] is known as a '''Coppercloud''' or '''Smoker'''.
== Feruchemical Use ==
A copper [[Ferring]] is known as an '''Archivist'''. Copper is used to store memories.{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}} This ability forms the core of the [[Keeper]]s, a group of Terrismen dedicated to preserving knowledge. Since the memories in a coppermind do not degrade with time (although they are vulnerable to [[Ruin]]'s manipulation while being transferred),{{wob ref|9695}} it is perfect for the collection of enormous quantities of facts. For this reason, Feruchemists were much more likely to be scholars than warriors. When an Archivist stores a memory in a coppermind, it immediately disappears from

For this reason, Feruchemists were much more likely to be scholars than warriors. When an Archivist stores a memory in a coppermind, it immediately disappears from his memory. The best users of copperminds would create indexes to find memories much faster. Finally, the longer a memory sits outside of a coppermind, the more it degrades, though this is due to the brain's own imperfections, not any quirk of the magic.{{book ref|mb2|15}}{{wob ref|1699}} Keepers undergo extensive training in memory retention to make the most of this ability.{{annotation ref|mb3|chapter=49}} Copperminds can not store muscle memory.{{wob ref|11670}}
=== Compounding ===
{{theory}}
Copper is unique among Feruchemical metals in that the individual bits of Feruchemical charge (the memories) are distinct from one another, as opposed to a metal like [[steel]] in which no bit of stored speed is discernible from another. Thus the possible effect of compounding copper is unclear. [[Rashek]] was said to have had a flawless memory,{{book ref|mb1|6}} possibly the effect of copper compounding, though this ability could have just been propaganda or a non-magical talent like that of his uncle [[Kwaan]].{{epigraph ref|mb2|42}}

=== Kandra Blessing ===
The [[kandra]] can use a pair of these spikes as a [[Blessing]] and call them the '''Blessing of Presence'''.{{book ref|mb3|2}} Like all kandra Blessings, the Blessing gives the [[mistwraith]]s sentience, with the added benefit of mental stability. The Blessing of Presence helps a kandra resist Ruin's influence.{{wob ref|5597}}
