== 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}} Pewter can theoretically be used to alter the user's appearance.{{wob ref|15782}} 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.
