'''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
The paired alloy of iron used in the Metallic Arts is [[steel]].
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 and Ironpulls if the Skimmer is being used as the anchor.{{book ref|mb2|58}}
Tapping iron grants the Skimmer the strength required to remain standing,{{wob ref|692}} including a partial increase in the density of their body,{{book ref|mb3|78}} but this increase in density is limited and does not, for example, affect the Skimmer's vulnerability to penetration.{{wob ref|692}} Storing weight
The law of conservation of momentum still exists when using iron Feruchemy, so while tapping weight doesn't significantly increase the speed of falling (not considering air resistance), decreasing one's weight to half will double one's speed.{{book ref|mb6|12}}{{wob ref|6595}}{{book ref|mb5|24}}
Feruchemical iron interferes with an individual's interaction with the [[wikipedia: Higgs boson|Higgs field]].{{wob ref|327}} It also allows people to easily adapt to low-gravity planets.{{book ref|tsm|49}}
A Skimmer could decrease the duration of a Basic Lashing by increasing their own weight.{{wob ref|16296}}
