An iron [[Misting]] is known as a '''Lurcher'''. Ironpulling is the art of burning iron to pull metals toward (in a straight line) the user's center of gravity.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} There are two general rules for ironpulling, which also apply to steelpushing, its paired opposite. The first rule is that the strength of your pull is roughly proportional to your physical weightmass. This means that larger Allomancers can generally ironpull and steelpush more powerfully than a smaller counterpart. While proportional, the force exerted by an ironpull is much greater than the Allomancer's weight, allowing them to pull themselves through the air by pulling on a piece of metal that weighs more than they do (or is anchored to something that does).{{book ref|tfe|7}} The second rule is that metal that is at least partially inside a person's body cannot be affected by iron. Both of these rules can be overcome by a sufficiently strong Allomancer, however.
