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. Presumably this follows an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_delta_function impulse function]. {{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}}

[[Lerasium]] is the God Metal corresponding to the Shard [[Preservation]]. A normal person burning lerasium becomes a [[Allomancy|Mistborn]] of undiluted power. A Misting or Mistborn burning lerasium drastically increases their powers.{{wob ref|10116}} [[Feruchemist]]s can use lerasium to store an unknown quality, and when used as a [[Hemalurgic]] spike, lerasium steals all abilities.{{file ref|Hemalurgy table.jpg|Hemalurgy Table}}

[[Atium]] is the God Metal corresponding to the Shard [[Ruin]]. An Allomancer burning atium is able to see a few seconds into the future. Feruchemists can use atium to store youth, and when used as a Hemalurgic spike, atium can steal the power to use any Invested Art.{{file ref|Hemalurgy table.jpg|Hemalurgy Table}}{{wob ref|14896}}

[[Malatium]] is an alloy of atium and [[gold]].{{book ref|mb3|part=ars}}{{wob ref|6086}} An Allomancer burning malatium is able to see either who another person was in the past, or who they could have become if they had made different choices.{{book ref|mb3|5}}

[[Ettmetal|Harmonium]] is the God Metal corresponding to the Shard [[Harmony]]. Called "ettmetal" in their native tongue, the Southern Scadrians use it to power their technology. Harmonium burns "with a pure whiteness"{{book ref|mb6|22}} when used in Southern Scadrian machinery, and explodes when it is exposed to water (similar to the [[Wikipedia: Alkali metal|alkali metals]]) making it dangerous if not impossible to ingest for Allomantic purposes. Unlike alkali metal reactions, this reaction does not yield a "harmonium oxide," but it will yield "something else relevant to the [[cosmere]]." Harmonium's atomic structure is that of a single element, rather than a compound or alloy.{{wob ref|1663}}

[[Raysium]] is the God Metal of [[Odium]]. Raysium can naturally conduct Investiture, drawing it in from any source.{{book ref|sa4|84}}

[[Trellium]], also known as '''bavadinium''', is the God Metal of [[Autonomy]].{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|4}} It is a silvery metal with a red cast to it, and dark red spots similar to rust.{{book ref|mb5|21}}{{book ref|mb5|epilogue}} Its Allomantic and Feruchemical properties are unknown. It can be used Hemalurgically to steal some, if not all, Allomantic and/or Feruchemical abilities and grant them to [[Kandra]].{{book ref|mb5|epilogue}} It can also be used on humans to create Hemalurgic constructs.{{book ref|mb5|21}}{{wob ref|6261}} Kandra and Hemalurgic constructs with a single spike of trellium will be hidden from Harmony.{{wob ref|6300}} Trellium naturally repels Investiture, including other God Metals.{{book ref|mb7|15}}

[[Honorblade]]sHonorblades are made out of the God Metal of Honor.{{wob ref|13996}}
