'''Cadmium''' is the external temporal pulling metal. An [[Allomancy|Allomancer]] burning cadmium is able to stretch time in a bubble around them, making it pass more slowly. Feruchemists can use cadmium to store breath, and when used as a Hemalurgic spike, cadmium steals

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.
When a cadmium bubble and a [[bendalloy]] 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 Pulser is about the size of a room, larger than a time bubble created by burning bendalloy.{{book ref|mb4|12}} 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
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}}
▲When a time bubble is created, the area of the bubble stays stationary with respect to a moving object as long as the person 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 person who created a time bubble is on a small, moving object (or the person merely walks to the edge of the bubble), the person will be transported through the bubble, "popping" it.{{book ref|mb6|17}}
=== Savantism ===
If someone were able to burn the amount of cadmium needed to become an Allomantic [[savant]] with the metal, they would be able to slow time to a greater degree than a regular Misting.{{wob ref|6557}} They would also be able to influence the size of the bubble and the amount of time it gives.{{wob ref|11691}}

== 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.
