'''Electrum''' is the internal temporal pushing metal alloy made from gold and silver. An Allomancer burning electrum is able to see who they may become in the future, depending on his choices. Feruchemists can use electrum to store determination, and when used as a Hemalurgic spike, electrum steals an unknown quality.▼

== Alloy Composition ==
The electrum used in the Metallic Arts is forty-five percent gold, fifty-five percent silver. {{book ref|mb3|31}}
 
==Allomantic Use==
A electrum [[Misting]] is known as an '''Oracle'''. Burning electrum will reveal possible futures of the Allomancer,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 userOracle's future will not be revealed to an enemy Allomancers burning atium. Instead, it will cause the userOracle's observed atium ghostshadow 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 FeruchemistPinnacle filling an electrummind will become depressed, and can tap it later to enter a manic state.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}}▼

==Hemalurgic Use==
When used as a Hemalurgic spike, electrum steals someEnhancement unknownAllomantic traitpowers or([[chromium]], quality[[nicrosil]], [[aluminum]], and [[duralumin]]).{{file ref| Hemalurgy table.jpg | Hemalurgy Table}}
 
== History ==
The [[Lord Ruler]] hid electrum from public knowledge since it would completely destroy the value of atium and the system of atium economy. Vin later found descriptions of this metal on a metal plate in the [[Urteau]] [[storage cavern]].{{book ref|mb3|5}}
 
== Trivia ==
*Brandon made a mistake while writing [[The Well of Ascension]]. The Feruchemical effects of [[brass]] and electrum were to be swapped. By the time he realized this was forgotten, however, the book was already in print. Brandon didn't want to retcon this, so the effect of electrum was canonized.{{qawob ref|977|23|How is heat a mental attribute in Feruchemy?|date=Sep, 20121090}}
