== Allomantic Use ==
A steel [[Misting]] is known as a '''Coinshot'''. Steelpushing is the art of burning steel to push metals away (in a straight line) from the user's "center of self,"{{wob ref|13373}}{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}} which is likely tied to the Allomancer's [[Cognitive Realm|Cognitive]] and [[Spiritual Realm|Spiritual]] aspects. There are two general rules for steelpushing, which also apply to ironpulling, its paired opposite. The first rule is that the strength of your push is roughly proportional to your physical weight. This means that larger Allomancers can generally steelpush and ironpull more powerfully than a smaller counterpart. While proportional, the force exerted by a steelpush is much greater than the Coinshot's weight, allowing them to push themselves into the air by pushing on a piece of metal that is on the ground (or is anchored to something that weighs more than they do). The second rule is that metal that is at least partially inside a person's body cannot be affected by steel. Both of these rules can be overcome by a sufficiently strong Coinshot, however.
The force of the Push upon an object is inversely proportional to the Coinshot's distance to said object. This continues until the Coinshot hits a zenith, or point of maximum altitude.{{cite}}
