'''Electrum''' is the internal temporal pushing metal alloy made from gold and silver. An Allomancer burning electrum is able to see possible futures of oneself, up to several seconds. Feruchemists can use electrum to store determination, and when used as a Hemalurgic spike, electrum steals Enhancement Allomantic powers.
==Allomantic Use==
A electrum [[Misting]] is known as an '''Oracle'''. Burning electrum will reveal possible futures of the Oracle up to several seconds, by casting shadows of oneself like [[atium]] shadows.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} While electrum is burning the allomancer will always see multiple electrum shadows of themself, as seeing their shadow will affect what they do. Electrum's main usage is its ability to counter [[atium]], in this regard and the fact that gold and silver are relatively cheap compared to atium. [[Elend]] called it "poor man's atium".
While burning electrum the Oracle's future will not be revealed to enemy Allomancers burning atium. Instead, it will cause the Oracle's observed atium shadow to split, preventing the enemy Allomancer from predicting one's actions.{{book ref|mb3|3}}
==Feruchemical Use==
An electrum [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Pinnacle'''. Electrum is used to store determination. A Pinnacle filling an electrummind will become depressed, and can tap it later to enter a manic state.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}}
