In [[Feruchemy]], Identity is stored in [[Aluminum]]. To effectively use Aluminum a ferchemistferuchemist must have access to all the feurchemicalferuchemical powers. By storing his identity in aluminum and then filling another metalmind he can create an "unkeyed" metalmind that can be used by anyone. In certain cases, instead of allowing anyone to tap the metalmind, it would only allow people who could already use that kind of metalmind to access the power. One example is in the[[The Bands of Mourning]]. whenWhen Wax finds a gold bracelet filled with healing power, Wayne, a gold Ferring, can access the power but Wax cannot.
