'''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 ana AllomancerTineye 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 mists[[mist]]s that cover Scadrial.{{book ref|mb1|8}} AnThey Allomancermay canalso flarebe tin,able causingto asee through the hugegaseous burstInvestiture of sensoryother inputShards, tothough clearthis hisis headnot froma painnative or exhaustionpower.{{bookwob ref|mb115258}}{{wob ref|2515546}} Tin will allow the Allomancer to see in areas of low light, but does not allow the user to see in total darkness.{{book ref|mb1yumi|540}}

=== Savantism ===
If someone were able to burn the amount of tin needed to become an Allomantic [[savant]] with the metal, any normal light would become too bright for them. However, their other senses would become so attuned that they can feel and hear well enough to make up for the lack of vision. And sinceSince the body grows dependent on the metal, bya stopTineye burningsavant it,could astop burning tin Savantand cancould gain resistant to pain or other senses. Burning tin for long periods puts lotsa lot of strain on the body and mind.{{wob ref|name=a-mb2-565448}}{{wob ref|name=a-mb3-147521}}{{wob ref|name=a-mb3-267551}}
 
== 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 FeruchemistWindwhisperer 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 FeruchemistWindwhisperer'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|1250}}
 
It is possible for a FeruchemistWindwhisperer to store more than the five traditional senses in a tinmind.{{wob ref|3387}} An example of this would be the the ability to feel pain.{{wob ref|10519}}{{book ref|mb7|34}} It ismight alsobe possible to store Allomantically granted senses like [[bronze]] sense.{{wob ref|9199}}▼

Creatures with other senses can create tinminds for those senses as well as the standard five. For instance, a platypus feruchemistFeruchemist could create an electricfieldsensemindelectric field sense tinmind.{{wob ref|2703}}▼

== Hemalurgic Use ==
When used as a Hemalurgic spike, tin steals human senses.{{book ref|mb3|part=ars}} The [[kandra]] '''Blessing of Awareness'''{{book ref|hoa|part=ars}} gave the [[mistwraith]]s sentience, with the added benefit of heightened senses.
 
=== TriviaKandra Blessing ===
The [[kandra]] can use a pair of these spikes as a [[Blessing]] and call them the '''Blessing of Awareness'''.{{book ref|mb3|part=ars}} Like all kandra Blessings, the Blessing gives the [[mistwraith]]s sentience, with the added benefit of heightened senses.{{epigraph ref|mb3|38}}
Brandon originally planned on giving the Allomantic powers of tin to [[silver]], falsely assuming that [[pewter]] had a high quantity of silver.{{ref|name=a-mb1-23}} After changing it, he was concerned that [[Vin]]'s earring might be confusing, so it became 'silver coated'.{{ref|name=a-mb3-54}}▼
 
== NotesFabrial Use ==
A [[fabrial]] with a tin cage will suppress the element corresponding with the trapped spren, creating a diminisher fabrial. For example, a [[painrial]], which dampens pain in its vicinity.{{epigraph ref|sa4|10}}
