==Feruchemical Use==
An electrum [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Pinnacle'''. Electrum is used to store determination. A Feruchemist filling an electrummind will become depressed, and can tap it later to enter a manic state.<ref name="AoLAA" />
 
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}}

== 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.{{wob ref|1090}}
