Pewter
One of the basic Allomantic metals. Burned by Thugs to enhance physical strength, balance, and resilience to pain and damage. MB1:TFE:Ch 4
Known facts
- keeps-aliveA burning pewter reserve holds an Allomancer together through wounds that should have killed them — and helps the body make new blood while the wound closes — long enough for a healer to work. Without it, Vin's obsidian gash should have killed her hours before Sazed reached Luthadel.MB1:TFE:Ch 15
- paced-burning-disciplineHam teaches that a young Pewterarm's commonest mistake is to flare pewter constantly. A trained Misting varies the burn: a flare at the moment of a blow, a normal burn for footing, a brief catch of balance when an off-step would have cost the fight. Save the hardest hits for the end of an exchange — the opponent will not have seen your ceiling — and stretch metals in any extended battle because the day you run out is the day fatigue catches up at once.MB1:TFE:Ch 24
- resists-intoxicationA pewter burner's strengthened body shrugs off alcohol as it shrugs off pain and fatigue; Spook, newly Snapped, finds he can drink a bottle of strong wine in a Harrows dive without measurable effect.MB1:HoA:Ch 26
- makes-the-body-resistant-to-drugsVin's gamble against Telden's sedative relies on the pewter folklore Reen had taught her — pewter makes the body resistant to all manner of drugs. Her hope is that flaring it with duralumin will burn the sedative out of her bloodstream entirely. It works only for the instant the flare lasts; the moment her pewter runs out, the drug she has already swallowed reaches her and she falls.MB1:HoA:Ch 50
