Allomantic Use
A brass Misting is known as a Soother. Emotional Allomancy is not mind control, but it does allow the practitioner to influence the emotions of those around him. The effects can be targeted a specific individual or group, and can focus on specific emotions.[1] Soothing emotions can be used to decrease someone's fatigue, fear, or happiness. It can accomplish many of the same things as Rioting emotions by Soothing all but the specified emotions. Extreme emotions in the target will interfere with emotional allomancy.

Feruchemical Use
[[File:|150px|thumb|right|link=brass|The Feruchemical symbol for brass]] A brass Ferring is known as a Firesoul. Brass is used to store warmth. While filling a brassmind, a Feruchemist will be cool.[1] It is currently unknown whether a Brass Ferring's body is able to resist higher temeratures. If not, there would be the dangerous risk of overheating when tapping the brassmind. If they do adjust, they could tap their brassminds in order to become semi-fireproof.
Hemalurgic Use
When used as a Hemalurgic spike, brass steals mental Feruchemical powers.
Trivia
- Brandon made a mistake while writing The Well of Ascension. The Feruchemical effects of brass and electrum were to be swapped. By the time he realized this was forgotten, however, the book was already in print. Brandon didn't want to retcon this, so the effect of brass was canonized.[2]
