The Allomantic symbol for electrum

Electrum is the internal temporal pushing metal. 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.[1] Electrum's main usage is its ability to counter atium. While burning electrum will not reveal what an enemy Allomancer with electrum will do, it will cause the user's atium ghost to split, preventing the enemy Allomancer from predicting one's actions.[2]

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.[3]


Hemalurgic Use

When used as a Hemalurgic spike, electrum steals some unknown trait or quality.
