Difference between revisions of "Pewter"

'''Pewter''' is the internal physical pushing metal. An Allomancer burning pewter has increased physical strength, speed, durability, balance, and enhanced ability to heal. It allows the user to push their body far past what they would normally be able to achieve. Feruchemists can use pewter to store physical strength, and, when used as a Hemalurgic spike, pewter steals Physical Feruchemical powers.

 

 

Pewter can be dangerous when it runs out, which is a serious concern since it is the fastest-burning of the eight basic metals.{{book ref|mb1|5}} A Thug having just survived a deadly wound can die from the resulting effects when the body runs out of pewter to burn. However, the body will naturally burn pewter in an attempt to heal itself, so even an unconscious Thug can be given additional pewter to survive otherwise life-threatening situations.

== Feruchemical Use ==

A pewter [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Brute'''. Pewter is used to store physical strength.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} However, as opposed to the simply enhanced body granted to an Allomancer burning pewter, a Brute tapping a pewtermind gains muscle mass and becomes physically larger. The additional muscles allow the Brute to have increased strength. For this reason, pewter metalminds are often designed to be able to stretch wider to accommodate the extra muscles. While storing physical strength, a Brute becomes scrawny and weak.{{book ref|mb1|37}}

 

When used as a Hemalurgic spike, pewter steals Physical Feruchemical powers ([[iron]], [[steel]], [[tin]], pewter, [[cadmium]], [[bendalloy]], [[gold]], and [[electrum]]).{{wob ref|5508}}{{wob ref|10046}} All [[Steel Inquisitors]] were given a pewter spike charged with Feruchemical gold, allowing for their rapid healing.{{book ref|mb3|36}}

 

The [[kandra]] can use a pair of these spikes as a [[Blessing]].{{book ref|mb6|24}} Like all kandra Blessings, the Blessing gives the [[mistwraith]]s sentience, with an unknown added benefit.
