==Allomantic Use==
An iron [[Misting]] is known as a '''Lurcher'''. Ironpulling is the art of using iron to pull on metal.<ref>Alloy of Law, Ars Arcanum</ref> There are two general rules for ironpulling, which also apply to steelpushing,
Of the two external physical metals, iron is by far the less flashy. Utilized by a Misting, iron is generally used as a purely defensive mechanism, cancelling out the efforts of enemy Coinshots by ironpulling enemy projectiles into a wooden shield. Iron is also less useful by itself in jumping, since using iron requires a large, well anchored piece of metal at your destination. Both metals' performance is greatly enhanced when used in tandem, allowing feats like those performed by [[Kelsier]] in his battle with the Inquisitor Bendal.
==Feruchemical Use==
An iron [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Skimmer'''. Iron is used to store physical weight, or more accurately, density.<ref>Alloy of Law, Ars Arcanum</ref> This is accomplished by changing the Feruchemist's mass, not by by changing the effect of gravity on the Feruchemist. This change does not affect things that the Feruchemist wears, but is great enough that a Feruchemist storing weight can safely fall any distance, as the Feruchemist's surface area is sufficient to slow the fall to safe speeds.<ref>Mistborn II, Ch. 12</ref>
A Feruchemist tapping weight can grow proportionally heavier than normal, and although this is not as useful as storing weight in many cases, it has significant martial applications. Specifically, by tapping iron during key moments, a Feruchemist can add force to their blows, and can use added weight to withstand attacks.
The [[kandra]] blessing of potency is comprised of two iron spikes. Like all kandra blessings, the blessing gave the mistwraith sentience, with the added benefit of physical strength and endurance.
