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.
Allomantic Use
A electrum Misting is known as a Oracle. Burning electrum will reveal possible futures of the Allomancer, up to several seconds.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content Electrum's main usage is its ability to counter atium, in this regard and the fact gold and silver are relativly cheap compared to atium Elend called it 'poor mans atium'.
While burning electrum the users future will not be revealed to an enemy Allomancers burning atium, it will cause the user's observerd atium ghost to split, preventing the enemy Allomancer from predicting one's actions.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content Allomancer's electrum is forty-five percent gold, fifty-five percent silver Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content
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.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content
Hemalurgic Use
When used as a Hemalurgic spike, electrum steals some unknown trait or quality.
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.Cite error: Invalid
