The '''Metallic Arts''' are the three prime manifestations of [[Investiture]] on [[Scadrial]]. They consist of [[Allomancy]], [[Feruchemy]], and [[Hemalurgy]]. All three utilize certain metal alloys and each manifest specific abilities in the user (namely, metal is not the source of their power, but metal is their [[focus]]). There are eight basic metals, each with an alloy, for a total of sixteen metals. In addition, there are are two pure ''God Metals'', and one known alloyalloys of thesethem.

The '''God metalsMetals''' are metals formed directly from a [[Shard]]. Previously only the Godgod Metalsmetals of [[Ruin]] and [[Preservation]] were known, however new Godgod Metalsmetals can be made from any Shard.{{wob ref|2530}} They can be alloyed with the lesser metals to form sixteen different metals each, though onlyfew one isare known. They can also be alloyed with each other.{{wob ref|11949}} Besides having an Allomantic, a Feruchemical, and a Hemalurgic property, each god metal can also do something else.{{wob ref|6082}} It seems of some importance that in the Wax and Wayne series it says that atium is no longer 'commonly' available. The vessel of the Shard can slightly change the properties of its god metal over time, but not the main functions of what it does.{{wob ref|2554}}

After contact with the [[Southern Scadrian]]s, a new metal is revealed. Called "[[Ettmetal]]" in their native tongue, the Southern Peoples 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 "Somethingsomething else relevant to the Cosmere[[cosmere]]." Harmonium's atomic structure is that of a single element, rather than a compound or alloy. {{wob ref|1663}}

[[Trellium]] is the uncanonical name for the unknown metal seen in [[Shadows of Self]]. 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 FeruchemicFeruchemical properties are unknown. It can be used Hemalurgically to steal some, if not all, Allomantic and/or FeruchemicFeruchemical 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}}
