The time bubble created by someone burning cadmium is about the size of a room, larger than a time bubble created by burning bendalloy.{{book ref|mb4|12}}
 
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}} Projectiles fired into or out of the bubble experience some force that throws them wildly off-course.{{book ref|aol|2}} When leaving the bubble, time bubbles interfere with almost all forms of Investiture.{{wob ref|78}} When multiple bubbles occur in the same space their effects are multiplied.{{wob ref|3936}}
 
If someone were able to burn the amount of Cadmium needed to become an Allomantic [[savant]] with the metal, they would be able to get further into the future than normal.{{wob ref|6557}} Some potential "non-combative" uses for cadmium allomancy include advancing personal time to a desired date, 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}}
