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.
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. 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}}
