'''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.
 
== 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 Oracle up to several seconds, by casting shadows of oneself like [[atium]] shadows.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} Electrum'sOne mainuse usageof electrum 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}}
 
If burned with [[duralumin]], it would likely have a similar effect to atium, in that the user would be able to see into the [[Spiritual Realm]].{{wob ref|3610}}
 
==Feruchemical Use==
{{icon|electrum|f|150px|thumb|right|The Feruchemic symbol for electrum}}
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}}
 
 
== 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 one of the [[Urteau]] [[storage cavern]]s.{{book ref|mb3|5}}
