Steelpushing is a fairly flashy ability. It allows the user to fly through the air in quite spectacular ways, using only coins (or other small metal objects) placed on the ground. This functions through essentially attempting to push the planet itself, which, as an object far more massive than one's self, causes one to be pushed away.{{cite}} It can be used offensively, as the name suggests, to shoot metal objects as projectiles. As the coins are much smaller than the Coinshot, they gain quite a bit of speed over time. Steelpushing can also be used defensively, by creating a bubble around the user to deflect incoming metal objects, although in case of very fast objects (such as bullets) it doesn't provide full protection.{{book ref\|mb4\|prologue}} Steelpushing liquid metals works similarly to a ferrofluid.{{wob ref\|12598}} When used in conjunction with firearms steelpushing is an incredibly powerful tool. By shooting a regular bullet and then pushing on it as it leaves the barrel, the bullet can be given a large amount of force, enough to pierce straight through wood and other cover and kill anyone on the other side unexpectedly.{{book ref\|mb4\|prologue}}{{book ref\|mb4\|6}} Steel Allomancy is strongly resisted by the body of sophonts, thus making metalminds ~~embeded~~embedded into the body difficult to push. Due to this, some Feruchemists choose to surgically implant their metalminds into their body.{{book ref\|mb7\|25}}{{book ref\|mb1\|38}}{{book ref\|mb4\|11}} However, a strong enough Steelpush, such as one powered by the [[Mists]], is able to overcome this resistance.{{book ref\|mb7\|25}}{{book ref\|mb1\|38}} The degree of resistance is proportional to how Invested the target is, and would therefore require more force to push metal in the body of someone such as [[Susebron]] and an average Scadrian, who would be harder than a Drab.{{wob ref\|7299}}{{wob ref\|7299}} It is also possible for a skilled Allomancer to push on a specific part of a metal object.{{wob ref\|10845}} They could also have better control over their Pushes, such as creating a steel bubble that deflects projectiles while not affecting the metal on the user.{{book ref\|mb5\|8}} Through unknown means, a Coinshot could push on non-metal objects.{{wob ref\|15142}} It is possible to effect the polarity of [[Axi]] via a steelpush, under the right circumstances.{{book ref\|mb7\|epilogue\|4}}
