'''Feruchemy''' is one of the three prime manifestations of [[Investiture]] on [[Scadrial]]. The natives of that world consider it one of the three [[Metallic Arts]].
A '''Feruchemist''' can use metals to store particular attributes in metal, somewhat like a battery. The larger the piece of metal is (and the closer it is to Allomantic purity), the more of that particular attribute can be stored. A Feruchemist can draw upon their metals in increased, compounded qualities, but the faster they do this, the lesser returns they receive. Only the Feruchemist who stored those attributes can draw upon them later, however.
Like Mistborn and Mistings, there are Feruchemists that can utilize one or all of the metals. The former are known as '''"Ferrings"'''.{{

====[[Iron]]====
Iron stores Physical Weight. Iron is used to store physical mass, or more accurately, density. This is accomplished by changing the Feruchemist's mass, not by changing the effect of gravity on the Feruchemist.{{ref|?|689|3|text=Does iron store mass or weight?}} The greater density has no effect on the Feruchemist's vulnerability to penetration.{{annotation ref|
An iron [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Skimmer'''.
