A pewter [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Brute'''.
 
====[[Gold]]==== ▼
Gold stores Health. Tapping a goldmind will rapidly heal wounds, but the expense of gold, combined with the difficulty of storing health, means that most Feruchemists do not have massive goldminds to tap from.▼
 
A gold [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Bloodmaker'''.▼
 
====[[Electrum]]====▼
Electrum stores determination. Storing determination makes people enter a depressed state during active storage, and while tapping it later can make them enter a determined, manic state.▼
 
An electrum [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Pinnacle'''.▼
 
====[[Bendalloy]]====▼
Bendalloy can store nutrition and calories. Users can eat large amounts of food during active storage without feeling full or gaining weight, and then can go without the need to eat while tapping their metalmind. A separate bendalloy metalmind is used for fluids intake.▼
 
A bendalloy [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Subsumer'''.▼
 
====[[Cadmium]]====▼
A Cadmium metalmind can store breath. During active storage they must hyperventilate in order for their bodies to get enough air. The breath can be retrieved at a later time, eliminating or reducing the need to breathe using the lungs while tapping the metalmind. They can also highly oxygenate their blood.▼
 
A cadmium [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Gasper'''.▼
 
=== Cognitive ===
 
A bronze [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Sentry'''.
 
===Hybrid===
 
Note that the Table of Feruchemical Metals, an in-world document, lists this quadrant as "Hybrid," but it is stated that, essentially, there are two Physical quadrants.{{qa ref|689|26}}

=== Spiritual ===
Atium stores age, or more specifically, youth. Storing age is usually a fairly useless endeavor: in order to be young for a time, a Feruchemist needs to stay older for a time as they fill their metalminds. It can, however, be useful for disguising a Feruchemist's identity.
 
Of particular interest however, is that—since Compounding provides a greater burst of the attribute store than was initially stored in the Metalmindmetalmind—it is possible for a person capable of both Allomancy and Feruchemy, to "gain" more youth then they store. Essentially, they become effectively immortal, able to repetitively retrieve youth. The disadvantage of this is of course, the fact that the since atium is burned up in the process, a permanent supply of the metal is necessary. Also, while able to extend their life greatly, someone Compounding atium is not ''truly'' immortal; over time, the amount of youth that they would need to consume (and the amount of atium necessary to allow them to do so) would increase beyond their ability to generate and store it, besides outstripping their physical ability to ingest and burn it.{{17s ref|post|30533|Compounding and Allomancy|date=17 March 2012}}

This, in addition to the fact that Atiumatium Twinborns (or Allomancer-Feruchemists) are almost non-existent, makes the practice incredibly rare.
 
So far it has only been used by [[Lord Ruler|The Lord Ruler]] and [[Marsh|Ironeyes]], although Atiumatium Twinborn (if they exist) and a number of the [[Steel Inquisitors]] under [[Ruin]]'s control might have been capable of duplicating the feat.
 
The name for an Atiumatium [[Ferring]] is, as of yet, unknown, due to the fact none have been discovered to the knowledge of the world at large.
 
===[[Lerasium]]===
The Feruchemical use of Lerasiumlerasium is yet unknown.
