[[Harmony]] is another manifestation of Ruin and Preservation combined on a grander and more complete sense. This makes "harmonium" a fitting name for ettmetal, as it reflects Harmony's combined nature. It is known that harmonium is a term [[Sazed]] (as Harmony) chose for the metal{{reddit ref|books|2ytg2h|csuq5u3|text=Sazed didn't like the sound of Sazedium.|date=7 july 2015}}, but whether or not the metal existed in Southern Scadrial prior to Sazed's [[Final Ascension|Ascension]] is currently unknown. Combinations of the two Shard's powers have been known to exist even from the beginning (e.g. the Metallic Art of Feruchemy), so it might be possible that ettmetal reserves existed before Sazed took up the Shards.
If ettmetal did exist prior to Harmony, its ability to mimic the effects of the Metallic Arts could be the key to how [[Rashek]] kept the South Scadrians alive under the scorching heat of the Scadrial's sun without genetic modifications{{qa ref|727|79|Rashek and the Southern Scadrians|date=October 2008}}
