'''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.
 
== Allomantic Use ==
A tin [[Misting]] is known as a '''Tineye'''. Burning tin grants an Allomancer increased sensitivity in all five senses.{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}} Furthermore, they are able to see through the mists that cover Scadrial.{{book ref|mb1|8}} An Allomancer can flare tin, causing a huge burst of sensory input, to clear his head from pain or exhaustion.{{book ref|mb1|25}} Tin will allow the allomancer to see in areas of low light, but does not allow the user to see in total darkness.{{book ref|mb1|5}}
 
== Feruchemical Use ==
{{icon|tin|f|150px|thumb|right|The Feruchemical symbol for tin}}
A tin [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Windwhisperer'''. Tin is used to store sensitivity of senses. One sense may be stored each in a tinmind.{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}} Unlike an Allomancer burning tin, it does not allow a Feruchemist to see things that would be otherwise unobservable; instead, it compounds the potency of their senses currently available.{{book ref|mb3|66}} While storing senses, those senses become weaker.
Storing sense of smell dilutes a Feruchemist's sense of taste. {{book ref|twoa|50}}
 
It is possible for a Feruchemist to store more than the five traditional senses in a tinmind.{{reddit ref|books|2ytg2h|crbq12w|textname=Can Feruchemists store more than the five traditional senses?|date=May 17th 2015}}
 
Creatures with other senses can create tinminds for those senses as well as the standard five. For instance, a platypus feruchemist could create an electricfieldsensemind.{{qa ref|1093|2|Could a platypus Feruchemist who can sense electric fields make a tinmind for that sense?|date=2014-08-20}}
 
== Hemalurgic Use ==
When used as a Hemalurgic spike, tin steals human senses.{{book ref|mb3|part=ars}} The [[kandra]] '''Blessing of Awareness'''{{book ref|hoa|part=ars}} gave the [[mistwraith]]s sentience, with the added benefit of heightened senses.
 
== Trivia ==
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}}
