'''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]].
== Allomantic Use ==
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 self,"{{wob ref|13373}}{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}} which is likely tied to the Allomancer's [[Cognitive Realm|Cognitive]] and [[Spiritual Realm|Spiritual]] aspects. There are two general rules for
When burning iron, blue lines emerge from the Lurcher and connect themselves to pieces of nearby metals, with the size of the iron line indicating how big the metal is. The iron lines can typically only be seen by the Lurcher.{{book ref|mb1|7}} The iron lines manifest themselves on the [[Spiritual Realm]] and can be cut or interfered with.{{wob ref|2796}} It is also possible to use the iron lines to see via the trace metals in everyone's bodies and in the objects around them, or even [[Axi]] and electromagnetic bonds.{{wob ref|2944}}{{wob ref|15319}}{{book ref|mb3|prologue}}{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|4}} A Lurcher could identify specific metals, or even colors, with the iron lines.{{wob ref|2255}}{{book ref|mb3|34}}
Of the two external physical metals, iron is by far the less flashy. Utilized by a Misting, iron is generally used as a purely defensive mechanism, cancelling out the efforts of enemy Coinshots by
An especially skilled Allomancer can Pull on individual parts of a metal object.{{wob ref|10845}} Through unknown means, a Lurcher could Pull on non-metal objects.{{wob ref|15142}} Due to it being possible with Steelpushes, it is supposedly possible to affect the polarity of Axi via an Ironpull, under the right circumstances.{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|4}} Lurchers can also Pull on liquid metals, which would work similarly to the behavior of [[wikipedia:Ferrofluid|ferrofluids]].{{wob ref|12598}}
== Feruchemical Use ==
An iron [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Skimmer'''. Iron is used to store
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
Tapping iron
The law of
Feruchemical iron interferes with an individual's interaction with the [[wikipedia: Higgs boson|Higgs
A Skimmer could decrease the duration of a Basic Lashing by increasing their own weight.{{wob ref|16296}}
== Hemalurgic Use ==
=== Kandra Blessing ===
The [[kandra]] can use a pair of these spikes as a [[Blessing]] and call them the '''Blessing of Potency'''.{{book ref|mb3|39}} Like all kandra Blessings, the Blessing gives the [[mistwraith]]s sentience, with the added benefit of physical strength and endurance.{{epigraph ref|mb3|38}} It is similar to an Allomancer burning [[pewter]], however the added strength and endurance cannot be regulated or changed.{{book ref|mb3|39}}
== Fabrial Use ==
A [[fabrial]] with an iron cage will physically attract the element corresponding with the trapped [[spren]], creating an attractor fabrial. For example, a fabrial that draws nearby smoke and causes it to accumulate near the device.{{epigraph ref|sa4|11}}
== Aetheric Use ==
Putting an iron tool near a growing [[aether]] substance pulls the substance in towards the tool as it grows.{{book ref|tress|26}}
