'''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.
The paired alloy of tin used in the Metallic Arts is [[pewter]].
== Allomantic Use ==
A tin [[Misting]] is known as a '''Tineye'''. Burning tin grants a Tineye increased sensitivity in all five senses.{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}} Furthermore, due to Allomancy's origin with [[Preservation]], they are able to see through the [[mist]]s that cover Scadrial.{{book ref|mb1|8}} They may also be able to see through the gaseous Investiture of other Shards, though this is not a native power.{{wob ref|15258}}{{wob ref|15546}}{{book ref|yumi|40}}
A Tineye can flare tin, causing a huge burst of sensory input, to clear their head from pain or exhaustion.{{book ref|mb1|25}} Tin will allow the Tineye to see in areas of low light, but does not allow the user to see in total darkness.{{book ref|mb1|5}} Tineyes cannot see through their own eyelids.{{book ref|mb3|16}}
== Feruchemical Use ==
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 and a different tinmind must be used for each sense.{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}} Unlike an Allomancer burning tin, it does not allow a Windwhisperer 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. For example, [[Sazed]] wore glasses while storing eyesight.{{book ref|mb1|22}}
Tapping sight causes the edge of the Windwhisperer's vision to blur, and sacrifices immediate field of vision in favor of a more distant, binocular view.{{book ref|mb2|19}} Tapping too much sight can induce nausea.{{book ref|mb2|12}} Storing sense of smell dilutes a Windwhisperer's sense of taste.{{book ref|twoa|50}}
It is possible for a Windwhisperer to store more than the five traditional senses in a tinmind.{{wob ref|3387}} An example of this would be
Creatures with other senses can create tinminds for those senses as well as the standard five. For instance, a platypus Feruchemist could create an electric field sense tinmind.{{wob ref|2703}}
