A bendalloy [[Misting]] is known as a '''Slider'''. Burning bendalloy pushes on time around the user, causing time to pass more quickly in a bubble around them. Events outside the bubble appear to move much slower to someone inside.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} One nugget of bendalloy can compress approximately two minutes into fifteen seconds.{{book ref|aol|12}}

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|aolmb4|2}}{{book ref|mb4|12}} The time bubble created by a Slider is approximately five to fifteen feet across and is smaller than that possible while burning cadmium.{{book ref|mb7|49}} Careful examination may reveal the edge of the bubble, where air appears to shimmer. As long as some part of a person is inside the speed bubble, they will be included in its effect.{{book ref|mb7|49}}

When a time bubble is created, the area of the bubble stays stationary with respectrelative 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 respectrelative 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, as it speeds up the already sped up time.{{book ref|mb7|23}}{{wob ref|10009}}

During the [[Final Empire]], bendalloy and [[cadmium]] and bendalloy were inaccessible and unknown evento Allomancers, though they were possibly known to the [[Lord Ruler]].{{wob Otherref|5493}} than theThe fact that their technology couldn't create the metals, [[Preservation]]made also swapped their places on the Allomantic Table for [[atium]] and [[malatium]]. In Preservation's plan, this served the purposeMistings of burningthese awaytypes [[Ruin]]'s body, atium. The switch of place also kept the total number of Allomantic metalsimpossible to remain as the significant number 16, which acts as a sign for humans to understand Preservation's plandiscover.{{wob ref|5971}} Presumably, bendalloy and cadmium mistings did not exist.{{cite}} After the [[catacendreCatacendre]], [[Harmony]] restored the Allomantic Table, and advancement in technology eventually made the metals available, so bendalloy Allomancers finally came to exist.
