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"'''.{{17s ref|712|text=Q&A with Peter Orullian, 8/20/11}} Ferrings are a result of the genes for Feruchemy mixing with those for Allomancy following the [[Final Ascension]].{{qa ref|632|1| Were Ferrings always part of the system and we just didn't meet them in Mistborn? Yes, although they were rare.}}4
