→‎Raysium: It does not 'draw from any source'. What draws the investiture is the difference in potential between an empty gem and a knight radiant for example. Counter example: Without a gem, the dagger wouldn't work. (Source is RoW ch.84, and pretty much every other Navani research chapter in RoW)

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}}
 
God metals have interactions of some kind with both [[fabrial]]s and [[Aether spores]], just like normal metals.{{wob ref|16243}}
 
== Known God Metals ==
=== Raysium ===
:''Main article:'' [[Raysium]]

== 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}}

* Where God Metals fit on the Periodic Table is planned to be covered in [[Mistborn Era 3|''Mistborn'' Era 3]].{{wob ref|13359}}
