⚫ | '''Lerasium''' is one of the two god metals. A normal person burning lerasium becomes a [[Mistborn]]. A Misting or Mistborn burning lerasium drastically increases their powers. Feruchemists can use lerasium to store an unknown quality, and when used as a Hemalurgic spike, lerasium steals an unknown quality. |

For normal people burning lerasium forges a permanent connection between them and Preservation, turning them into a very powerful Mistborn, however, Turning people into Mistborn is only a side effect of burning lerasium, if a Mistborn were to burn it, it would have a different, as of yet, unknown effect.<ref>{{bref|mb3|a|38}} [http://www.brandonsanderson.com/annotation/304/Mistborn-3-Chapter-Thirty-Eight]</ref> |

If someone were able to burn the amount of lerasium needed to become an Allomantic [[savant]] with the metal, they would Ascend and become the holder of Preservation, similar to what happened when [[Vin]] consumed the [[mists]].{{wob ref|1248}} This is due to the nature of the metal as the condensed power of Preservation. |

== History == |
|||
Lerasium was created by Leras.{{wob ref|6046}} [[Rashek]] collected the beads,{{wob ref|140}} after taking the power of Preservation at the [[Well of Ascension]], and used them to entice foreign kings to become his allies.{{wob ref|8001}} He left two beads near the Well, for reasons unknown.{{msh ref|2|1}} |
|||
However, neither of these beads were used prior to the fall of the Final Empire. One bead was fed to [[Elend]] to save his life after being attacked by Leras, whose hand was directed by [[Kelsier]], in an attempt to prevent Vin from releasing Ruin from the Well.{{book ref|mb2|58}}{{book ref|mb2|59}}{{msh ref|2|4}} The other was stolen and consumed by [[Hoid]], after he used the Well to transition from the Cognitive Realm to the Physical.{{wob ref|12210}}{{msh ref|2|1}} |
|||
[[Waxillium_Ladrian|Wax]] was later able to split ettmetal using [[trellium]] to create more lerasium, which was later used by Wax and [[Wayne]], creating the first known Mistborns since the [[Spook|Lord Mistborn]] right after the [[Catacendre]].{{book ref|mb7|71}} [[Kelsier]] wishes to use it to create an army of Mistborn to fight against the armies of [[Autonomy]], though Harmony rejects these plans.{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|4}} |

* If [[Harmony]] wanted to, he could produce more lerasium.{{wob ref|9713}} |
