metalmind
itemPieces of metal serving as batteries for Feruchemists to store and withdraw attributes, named by metal type (tinmind, steelmind).
Metalminds begin as simple Feruchemical storage devices in The Hero of Ages, functioning as attribute batteries keyed to specific metals. Their role expands dramatically as the series explores the deeper mechanics of Feruchemy and Allomancy, revealing how these metal reservoirs can be manipulated, shared, and even weaponized. By the end of the trilogy, metalminds evolve from passive storage tools into critical instruments of survival, power, and cosmic balance.
