An iron [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Skimmer'''. Iron is used to store physical mass, or more accurately, density.<ref>Alloy of Law, Ars Arcanum</ref> This is accomplished by changing the Feruchemist's mass, not by by changing the effect of gravity on the Feruchemist. This change does not affect things that the Feruchemist wears, but is great enough that a Feruchemist storing weight can safely fall any distance, as the Feruchemist's surface area is sufficient to slow the fall to safe speeds.<ref>Mistborn II, Ch. 12</ref>
A Feruchemist 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, a Feruchemist can add force to
