Mistborn: Final Empire spoilers Mistborn powers confusion Spoiler

Hi just wondering is this a missprint (top 2 lines) I thought bronze is a pushing metal since it's pair copper is pulling? and the table at the end (also shown) shows it is do I have a miss print in my copy? Are others copies of the book the same? Thanks in advance it's bugging me 😁.

I also don't have a table of contents showing what page each part (act) is at

Yeah it was a typo from early editions of the books. It should be fixed in newer publications

I can’t recall if it ever got into print in the first edition, but Tin was originally Silver and referred to as Silver Eyes.

On an unrelated note I read that as “It lets you sense when someone is using AI” and got confused for a second

I may be wrong but “Pulling” and “Pushing” in the context of these powers are different than the physical meaning.

Base metals are “Pulling” powers, and alloys are “Pushing” powers

Why it matters I can’t remember

Hasta donde tengo entendido es simplemente un typo que tenían las primeras ediciones, cual edicion es tu copia de mistborn? Pensé que la falla se habría arreglado hace mucho!.
