A bendalloy [[Misting]] is known as a '''Slider'''. Burning bendalloy
When a bendalloy bubble and a [[cadmium]] bubble occur in the same place, their effects cancel out resulting in no change whilst still burning the metals used.{{book ref|aol|2}}{{book ref|mb4|12}} The time bubble created by a Slider is approximately five feet across and is smaller than that possible while burning cadmium. Careful examination may reveal the edge of the bubble, where air appears to shimmer.
When a time bubble is created, the area of the bubble stays stationary with respect to a moving object as long as the Slider creating it is stationed on an object large enough. For example, someone standing on a planet, which is quite massive, is still actually moving with the rotation of the planet, and the bubble moves with that person, but the bubble itself stays in the same place with respect to the planet. However, if the Slider who created a time bubble is on a small, moving object (or the person merely walks to the edge of the bubble), the Slider will be transported through the bubble, "popping" it.{{book ref|mb6|17}} Objects entering or exiting the bubble are thrown wildly off-course, most likely because different parts of the object are moving at different speeds during the transition.{{book ref|mb4|2}} When leaving the bubble, time bubbles interfere with almost all forms of [[Investiture]].{{wob ref|78}} However, they do not interfere with emotional allomancy.{{wob ref|3200}} When multiple bubbles occur in the same space their effects are multiplied.{{wob ref|10009}}
If a Slider flares bendalloy when forming a time bubble, time inside the bubble is sped up even more. The size and speed of the bubble is pretty much determined when it's first formed.{{wob ref|117}} Bendalloy is involved in multiple ways with faster-than-light travel.{{wob ref|12107}}
A speed bubble can be popped by [[aluminum]].{{wob ref|4297}}
=== Savantism ===
If someone were able to burn the amount of bendalloy needed to become an Allomantic [[savant]] with the metal, they would be able to anchor the speed bubble to themselves, allowing the speed bubble to move with them. This would cause complications for objects moving in and out of the bubble as energy is transferred to and from the [[Spiritual Realm]] to prevent redshift and blueshift.{{wob ref|2761}} They would also be able to influence the size of the bubble and the amount of time it gives.{{wob ref|11691}}

▲A bendalloy [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Subsumer'''. Bendalloy is used to store nutrition and calories. While filling a bendalloymind, a Feruchemist is able to eat large quantities of food without becoming full. Tapping such a metalmind will allow the user to go without food. A separate bendalloymind can be used to store fluid intake.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}}
=== Compounding ===
A bendalloy [[Compounding|Compounder]] would be able to use bendalloy to survive without food or water.{{book ref|mb4|11}}{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}}

== History ==
Bendalloy was unknown of during the [[Final Empire]], though the [[Lord Ruler]] possibly knew of its existence{{wob ref|5493}}. Although [[Allomancy|Allomancers]] of both bendalloy and [[cadmium]] existed,{{wob ref|1352}} these [[Misting]]s were not targeted by the mists when they began to Snap humans, due to their unknown nature and the inability of [[Scadrial]]'s society to produce them. Instead, [[Preservation]] substituted the two metals with [[atium]] and [[malatium]], so as to retain the number sixteen as a signal to his followers, and spur the expenditure of [[Ruin]]'s god metal.{{wob ref|5971}} After the [[catacendre]], [[Harmony]] restored bendalloy and cadmium to their place among the sixteen metals. With advancements of metallurgy and technology, these two metals were discovered to be Allomantically viable, leading to the discovery of bendalloy and cadmium Mistings.
== Trivia ==
* In an original mockup of the complete Table of Allomantic Metals, this metal was named cerrobend. However, the word cerrobend was a trademarked, commercial name for the metal, and so [[Brandon]] was forced to use bendalloy instead.{{cite|According to Chaos this apparently comes from a pre-official Allomantic table which may or may not be findable}}
