A pewter [[Misting]] is known as a '''Thug''' or '''Pewterarm'''.<ref name="AoLAA">Alloy of Law, Ars Arcanum</ref> 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 enhances the body's natural balance, granting almost unnaturally smooth movements. Pewter also increases reaction speed<ref>Mistborn I, Ch. 24</ref> Finally, it also increases endurance, letting the body continue on long past when it would have normally shut down.

A pewter [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Brute'''. Pewter is used to store physical strength.<ref>Alloy ofname="AoLAA" Law, Ars Arcanum</ref> 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.<ref>Mistborn I, Ch. 37</ref>
