In the Metallic Arts, pewter is the alloy paired with [[tin]].
== Alloy Composition ==
== 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. It will also heal conditions such as drug effects or drunkenness.{{book ref|mb3|26}}{{book ref|mb3|50}} [[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 also enhances the body's natural balance, granting almost unnaturally smooth movements. It also increases reaction speed and gives them resistance to hot and cold temperatures.{{book ref|mb1|24}} Finally, it increases endurance, letting the body continue on long past when it would have normally shut down.
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.
Pewter roughly doubles the average person’s strength, and triples it when flared.{{wob ref|7674}}
=== Pewter dragging ===
By constantly flaring pewter for a long time (
===
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}}
== 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}}
It's possible for a
=== 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 steals Physical Feruchemical powers ([[iron]], [[steel]], [[tin
=== Kandra Blessing ===
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}}
== Trivia ==
* The early editions of [[The Hero of Ages]] said Feruchemical healing was granted by pewter spikes,{{epigraph ref|mb3|36}} even though the Hemalurgy table says pewter spikes only give Physical Feruchemical abilities.{{file ref|Hemalurgy_table.jpg|Table of Hemalurgic Metals}} Brandon indicated that pewter spikes could steal from the hybrid quadrant as well.{{wob ref|5508}}{{wob ref|10046}} However, later editions of the book changed the pewter spike mentioned to a gold spike and added an additional mention to a gold health spike in chapter 5.{{book ref|mb3|5}}
