| − | + | A 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}} Electrum's main usage 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". |
