When burning steel, blue lines emerge from the Coinshot and connect themselves to pieces of nearby metal, with the size of the steel line indicating how big the metal is. The steel lines can typically only be seen by the Coinshot.{{book ref|mb1|7}} The steel lines manifest themselves on the [[Spiritual Realm]] and can be cut or interfered with,{{wob ref|2796}} supposedly due to their lack of physicality, they can pass through physical objects such as walls, allowing a Coinshot to ascertain the location of metals outside of their line of sight, and detect such things as metal girders within walls.{{book ref|mb7|25}}{{cite}} 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, or even [[Axi]] and electromagnetic bonds.{{wob ref|2944}}{{wob ref|15319}}{{book ref|mb3|prologue}}{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|4}} A Coinshot could identify specific metals, or even colors, with the steel lines.{{wob ref|2255}}{{book ref|mb3|34}}
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.{{
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}}
