== Allomantic Use ==
A cadmium [[Misting]] is known as a '''Pulser'''. Burning cadmium pulls on time around the user, causing time to pass more slowly in a bubble around them. Events outside the bubble appear to move much faster to someone inside.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}}
When a cadmium bubble and a [[bendalloy]] bubble occur in the same place, their effects
When a time bubble is created, the area of the bubble stays stationary with respect to a moving object as long as the Pulser 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 Pulser who created a time bubble is on a small, moving object (or the person merely walks to the edge of the bubble), the Pulser 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|
Some potential "non-combative" uses for cadmium Allomancy include advancing personal time to a desired date,{{book ref|mb4|12}} performance art in which one or more performers utilize cadmium "pulses" to enhance the exhibition, and scientific observation of processes/reactions which would otherwise not be observable in real-time.{{cite}} Cadmium is involved in multiple ways with faster-than-light travel.{{wob ref|12107}}
== History ==
During the [[Final Empire]], cadmium and [[bendalloy]] were unknown even to [[Lord Ruler]]. Other than the fact that their technology couldn't create the metals, [[Preservation]] also swapped their places on the Allomantic Table for [[atium]] and [[malatium]]. In Preservation's plan, this served the purpose of burning away [[Ruin]]'s body, atium. The switch of place also kept the total number of Allomantic metals to remain as the significant number 16, which acts as a sign for humans to understand Preservation plan.{{wob ref|5971}} Presumably, cadmium and bendalloy mistings did not exist.{{cite}} After the [[catacendre]], [[Harmony]] restored the Allomantic Table, and advancement in technology made the metals available.
