'''Copper''' is the internal mental pulling metal.
'''Copper''' is the internal mental pulling metal. An Allomancer burning copper is able to hide Allomanctic 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.

A copper [[Misting]] is known as a '''Coppercloud''' or '''Smoker'''.
A copper [[Misting]] is known as a '''Coppercloud''' or '''Smoker'''. Other Allomancers near a Smoker are protected from Seekers ([[Bronze|bronze]] Allomancers).<ref name="AoLAA">Alloy of Law, Ars Arcanum</ref> With the exception of Seekers pierced by bronze Hemalurgic spikes from another Seeker, it is impossible to sense Allomancy being used inside the cloud. Smokers are of central importance when Allomancers are trying to hide.

An important side effect of burning copper is that the Smoker himself is protected from emotional Allomancy. There is some contention on if this holds for other people in the cloud.<ref name="AoLAA" />

A copper [[Ferring]] is known as an '''Archivist'''. Copper is used to store memories.<ref name="AoLAA" /> 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), 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 a Feruchemist stores a memory in a metalmind, 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.<ref>Mistborn II, Ch. 15</ref>
