'''Electrum''' is the internal temporal pushing metal. An Allomancer burning electrum is able to see who they may become in the future, depending on his choices. Feruchemists can use electrum to store determination, and when used as a Hemalurgic spike, electrum steals an unknown quality.

'''Electrum''' is the internal temporal pushing metal alloy made from [[gold]] and [[silver]]; it is the alloy paired with gold in the Metallic Arts. An Allomancer burning electrum is able to see possible futures of oneself, up to several seconds. Feruchemists can use electrum to store determination, and when used as a Hemalurgic spike, electrum steals Enhancement Allomantic powers.
 
 
== Alloy Composition ==
 
The electrum used in the Metallic Arts is forty-five percent gold, fifty-five percent silver.{{book ref|mb3|31}}

An electrum [[Misting]] is known as an '''Oracle'''. Burning electrum will reveal possible futures of the Oracle up to several seconds, by casting shadows of oneself like [[atium]] shadows.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} One use of electrum is its ability to counter [[atium]], in this regard and the fact that gold and silver are relatively cheap compared to atium. [[Elend]] called it "poor man's atium".

A electrum [[Misting]] is known as a '''Oracle'''. Burning electrum will reveal possible futures of the Allomancer, up to several seconds.{{ref|b|aol|ars}} Electrum's main usage is its ability to counter atium. While burning electrum will not reveal what an enemy Allomancer with electrum will do, it will cause the user's atium ghost to split, preventing the enemy Allomancer from predicting one's actions.{{ref|b|mb3|c|3}} Allomancer's electrum is forty-five percent gold, fifty-five percent silver {{ref|b|mb3|c|31}}
 
While burning electrum the Oracle's future will not be revealed to enemy Allomancers burning atium. Instead, it will cause the Oracle's observed atium shadow to split, preventing the enemy Allomancer from predicting one's actions.{{book ref|mb3|3}}
 
 
If burned with [[duralumin]], it would likely have a similar effect to atium, in that the user would be able to see into the [[Spiritual Realm]].{{wob ref|3610}}

An electrum [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Pinnacle'''. Electrum is used to store determination. A Pinnacle filling an electrummind will become depressed, and can tap it later to enter a manic state.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}}

When used as a Hemalurgic spike, electrum steals Enhancement Allomantic powers ([[chromium]], [[nicrosil]], [[aluminum]], and [[duralumin]]).{{file ref| Hemalurgy table.jpg | Hemalurgy Table}}

When used as a Hemalurgic spike, electrum steals some unknown trait or quality.
 
== History ==
 
The [[Lord Ruler]] hid electrum from public knowledge since it would completely destroy the value of atium and the system of atium economy. Vin later found descriptions of this metal on a metal plate in the [[Urteau]] [[storage cavern]].{{book ref|mb3|5}}
 
 
== Trivia ==
 
*Brandon made a mistake while writing [[The Well of Ascension]]. The Feruchemical effects of [[brass]] and electrum were to be swapped. By the time he realized this was forgotten, however, the book was already in print. Brandon didn't want to retcon this, so the effect of electrum was canonized.{{wob ref|1090}}
