'''Iron''' is the External Physical Pulling Metal. An Allomancer burning iron can Pull bits of metal toward their "center of self,"{{wob ref|13373}} and can also use iron to sense the presence of metal nearby. Ironpulling is not dependent on magnetic forces or Allomantic power--most metals (with the exception of [[aluminum]] and some of its alloys) can be Pulled. Feruchemists can use iron to store physical weight, and when used as a Hemalurgic spike, iron steals physical strength.

 

== Feruchemical Use ==

 

A Skimmer tapping iron can grow proportionally heavier than normal, and although this is not as useful as storing mass in many cases, it has significant martial applications. Specifically, by tapping iron during key moments, Skimmers can add force to their blows, and can use added weight to withstand attacks. It can be used to counter Coinshots or Lurchers, for example, by increasing weight when pushed, one can instead push the Coinshot back. Furthermore, the added mass from tapping an ironmind can wreak havoc with steelpushes/ironpulls if the Skimmer is being used as the anchor.{{book ref|mb2|58}}
