'''God Metals''' are the solid manifestation of a [[Shard]] of [[Adonalsium]]'s [[Investiture]].{{book ref|mb6|part=ars}}
A Mistborn could burn any God Metal,{{wob ref|14753}} though doing so may require a [[Connection]] to the metal's Shard.{{wob ref|4205}} Some God Metals can be used by anyone.{{wob ref|15145}}
When measured by a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_spectrometer spectroscope] while being heated, [[trellium]] appears to emit a full spectrum of light at the same intensity as if it is a pure white color, except in the red frequencies where the readings jump above the maximum.{{book ref|mb7|13}} [[Waxillium Ladrian]] notes that this is a physical impossibility and [[harmonium]] is the only other time he has seen anything similar, suggesting that it is an identifiable trait of God Metals.{{book ref|mb7|13}} It is unknown what determines the color where the reading will spike for an individual God Metal, and whether hybrid metals have one spike or several. This bears some resemblance to the impossible rainbows that form when the light given off by one of the [[Lights#Physical Properties|Rosharan Lights]] is split by a prism.{{book ref|sa4|65}}
If a Shard is [[Splinter]]ed, God Metals that existed before will remain unaffected.{{wob ref|12055}} Change of Shard's Vessel may over time cause properties of its God Metal to change.{{wob ref|16588}} As name of the God Metal is usually derived by adding suffix "-ium" to the Vessel's name, people might start calling the metal by a new name to reflect the new Vessel.{{wob ref|2554}}{{wob ref|14874}}
God metals have interactions of some kind with both [[fabrial]]s and [[Aether spores]], just like normal metals.{{wob ref|16243}}

=== Lerasium ===
:''Main article:'' [[Lerasium]]
Alloys of lerasium grant the user the powers of the associated metal, so that if an individual burned a lerasium tin alloy they would become a [[Tineye]].{{wob ref|245}} If alloyed with other God Metals, such as [[bavadinium]], it is theoretically possible for the combined effect to grant abilities from the associated Invested Art.{{wob ref|10624}}
=== Atium ===
:''Main article:'' [[Atium]]
{{ref|text=Note that the Allomantic and Feruchemical effects of atium are the effects of the atium-electrum alloy produced in the [[Pits of Hathsin]], not the true, pure God Metal. Pure atium, when burned, shows a vision of the Spiritual Realm. Its Feruchemical property is unknown. The Hemalurgic property of stealing any ability belongs to pure atium, and not to the Electrum alloy, whose Hemalurgic property is unknown.|group=footnote}}

=== Shardblades and Shardplate ===
=== Honorblades ===

=== The Dor ===
The [[Dor]] is the remnant of [[Devotion]] and [[Dominion]]'s combined powers after the Shards themselves were Splintered.{{wob ref|2787}}{{wob ref|1533}} There is a God Metal that comes from the Dor.{{wob ref|13354}}
== Anti-God Metals ==
Physical matter is known to have a counterpart called [[Wikipedia: antimatter| antimatter]] - matter composed of antiparticles that share many properties with the particles of ordinary matter, but manifest some of them in an opposite way (e.g. a proton and an antiproton have the same mass, but opposite electric charges and magnetic moments). Raboniel describes this in terms of axi with opposite polarities.{{book ref|sa4|97}} A similar relationship exists between Investiture and anti-Investiture in the cosmere.
An Allomancer ingesting anti-God Metals will die.{{wob ref|16236}}
== Trivia ==
* Striking a chime or bell made of a God Metal would not necessarily produce a similar note to that God Metal's corresponding [[Rhythm#The Pure Tones|Tone]].{{wob ref|15275}}
* Brandon has indicated that the atium present in [[Mistborn Era 1|''Mistborn'' Era 1]] is actually an alloy of atium and [[electrum]].{{wob ref|15299}}
* Where God Metals fit on the Periodic Table is planned to be covered in [[Mistborn Era 3|''Mistborn'' Era 3]].{{wob ref|13359}}
