'''Tin''' is the Internal Physical Pulling metal. An Allomancer burning tin has greatly enhanced senses. Feruchemists can use tin to store enhanced senses, and when used as a Hemalurgic spike, tin steals senses.
The paired alloy of tin used in the Metallic Arts is [[pewter]].

A tin [[Misting]] is known as a '''Tineye'''. Burning tin grants
A Tineye can flare tin, causing a huge burst of sensory input, to clear their head from pain or exhaustion.{{book ref|mb1|25}} Tin will allow the Tineye to see in areas of low light, but does not allow the user to see in total darkness.{{book ref|mb1|5}} Tineyes cannot see through their own eyelids.{{book ref|mb3|16}}
=== [[Savantism]] ===▼
If someone were able to burn the amount of tin needed to become an Allomantic [[savant]] with the metal, any light would become too bright for them. However, their other senses would become so attuned that they can feel and hear well enough to make up for the lack of vision. Burning tin for long periods puts lots of strain on the body and mind.{{ref|name=a-mb2-56}}{{ref|name=a-mb3-14}}{{ref|name=a-mb3-26}}▼

However, their other senses would become so attuned that they can feel and hear well enough to make up for the lack of vision. Since the body grows dependent on the metal, a Tineye savant could stop burning tin and could gain resistant to pain or other senses. Burning tin for long periods puts

The [[kandra]] can use a pair of these spikes as a [[Blessing]] and call them the '''Blessing of Awareness'''.{{book ref|mb3|part=ars}} Like all kandra Blessings, the Blessing gives the [[mistwraith]]s sentience, with the added benefit of heightened senses.{{epigraph ref|mb3|38}}
Brandon originally planned on giving the Allomantic powers of tin to [[silver]], falsely assuming that [[pewter]] had a high quantity of silver.{{ref|name=a-mb1-23}} After changing it, he was concerned that [[Vin]]'s earring might be confusing, so it became 'silver coated'.{{ref|name=a-mb3-54}}▼

A [[fabrial]] with a tin cage will suppress the element corresponding with the trapped spren, creating a diminisher fabrial. For example, a [[painrial]], which dampens pain in its vicinity.{{epigraph ref|sa4|10}}
