'''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 Feruchemy.▼

== Allomantic Use ==
A pewter [[Misting]] is known as a '''Thug''' or '''Pewterarm'''.{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}}
Pewter's utility is not simply from the increased strength or speed. It grants the user the ability to heal from otherwise deadly wounds, and to recover much quicker. [[Aluminum]] in a wound will make it impossible for the Thug to heal the injury around the metal for as long as it remains in the body.{{wob ref|6365
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
Pewter roughly doubles the average persons strength, and triples it when flared.{{wob ref|7674}}
▲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, or completed a pewter drag, 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.
=== Pewter dragging ===
By constantly flaring pewter for a long time (pewter dragging), a Thug can achieve incredible things, such as running at roughly the speed of a galloping horse for extended periods. However, this is extremely dangerous and could even be lethal when the Thug stops burning pewter, for they would suffer from the sudden burst of fatigue which was suppressed by pewter. Several days of rest and sufficient food are required to replenish the Thug afterwards.{{book ref|mb1|26}}
=== Savantism ===
If someone were able to burn the amount of pewter needed to become an Allomantic [[savant]] with the metal, they would have enhanced physical abilities such as being able to heal more quickly, though not as fast as someone tapping health from a [[gold]]mind.{{book ref|mb4|17}} Thugs often die before becoming savants, as they feel neither pain nor exhaustion to any great extent and therefore may ignore wounds that later prove fatal.{{epigraph ref|mb3|16}}
== Feruchemical Use ==
A pewter [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Brute'''.
▲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 Feruchemist tapping a pewtermind gains muscle mass and becomes physically larger. The additional muscles allow the Feruchemist to have increased strength. While storing physical strength, a Feruchemist becomes scrawny and weak.{{book ref|mb1|37}}

=== Compounding ===
A pewter [[Compounding|Compounder]] would be able to use pewter to have a nearly infinite supply of physical strength.{{wob ref|5503}}{{wob ref|851}}
== Hemalurgic Use ==
When used as a Hemalurgic spike, pewter
===
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.

== Fabrial Use ==
A [[fabrial]] with a pewter cage will express the element corresponding with the trapped spren, creating an augmentor fabrial. For example, a fabrial with a trapped flamespren will radiate heat. As with its use in Allomancy, this consumes [[Stormlight]] more quickly than other fabrials.{{epigraph ref|sa4|9}}
