'''Chromium''' is the external enhancement pulling metal. An Allomancer burning chromium is able to make the metal reserves of another Allomancer vanish. Feruchemists can use chromium to store fortune, and when used as a Hemalurgic spike, chromium might steal destiny.
== Allomantic Use ==
A chromium [[Misting]] is known as a '''Leecher'''. Chromium acts just like [[aluminum]] inside the body, causing any [[Allomancer]]s touched by a Leecher to lose their metal reserves.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} When burning away a person's metals, it feels like pulling power from the metal and returning it to an external source.{{file ref|New Ascendancy broadsheet.jpg|''The New Ascendancy'' Broadsheet}} This power is similar to [[Nightblood]] and [[larkin]].{{wob ref|5023}} When burning away a person's metals, non-[[Investiture|Invested]] metals go before the Invested ones.{{wob ref|881}} Only Allomantically relevant metals can be burned away.{{wob ref|12563}} The ability to burn the metal can be drained while leaving the metal.{{file ref|New Ascendancy broadsheet.jpg|''The New Ascendancy'' Broadsheet}}
This requires one to touch the target in order to leech from them{{book ref|mb7|25}}{{book ref|mb7|63}} Thus can be countered by avoiding physical contact with the Leecher.{{book ref|mb7|63}}{{book ref|mb7|65}} Being leeched makes one feel a sudden coldness.{{book ref|mb7|25}}
