When burning iron, blue lines emerge from the Lurcher and connect themselves to pieces of nearby metals, with the size of the iron line indicating how big the metal is. The iron lines can typically only be seen by the Lurcher.{{book ref|mb1|7}} The iron lines manifest themselves on the [[Spiritual Realm]] and can be cut or interfered with.{{wob ref|2796}} It is also possible to use the iron lines to see via the trace metals in everyone's bodies and in the objects around them.{{wob ref|2944}} A Lurcher could identify specific metals with the iron lines.{{wob ref|2255}}
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 are greatly enhanced when used in tandem, allowing feats like those performed by [[Kelsier]] in his battle with the [[Inquisitor]] [[Bendal]].
An especially skilled Allomancer can Pull on individual parts of a metal object.{{wob ref|10845}} Through unknown means, a Lurcher could pull on non-metal objects.{{wob ref|15142}} Ironpulling liquid metals works similarly to a ferrofluid.{{wob ref|12598}}
