It is soft and pliable like gold, especially when heated via flame or electricity.{{book ref|mb7|13}}{{book ref|mb7|15}} When heated by electricity and slowly drawn apart, a nugget of harmonium begins to separate, with the two parts beginning to take on the traits of atium and lerasium. However, when the string of metal between them is cut, both sides return to being mere harmonium.{{book ref|mb7|15}}
It has an extraordinarily high melting point, above 3,000 degrees.{{book ref|mb7|13}} When heated, it lets off a full spectrum of light, with an unknown
=== Reaction to Trellium ===▼
When ettmetal has electric currents moving passing through it the metal softens and can be split in half.{{book ref|mb7|15}} If, during this process, [[trellium]] is inserted between the two pieces a violent reaction occurs as the matter of both metals are converted into pure energy. This reaction is not complete, only converting a small fraction of the used metals into energy.{{book ref|mb7|17}} The blast is powerful enough that not even [[Autonomy]] or Harmony are aware as to how strong an explosion of it can be.{{book ref|mb7|69}} Minor fragments of [[lerasium]] and [[atium]] are also produced by this reaction.{{book ref|mb7|71}}{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|4}}▼
Ettmetal and Trellium repel each other, with the strength of repulsion becoming stronger the closer they are forced together.{{book ref|mb7|15}}▼

=== Mechanical Uses ===
In conjunction with Southern [[Scadrian]] technology, ettmetal can reproduce Allomantic or Feruchemical powers within its vicinity.{{book ref|mb6|17}}{{book ref|mb6|29}} The Southern Scadrians have also used the metal in '''primer cubes''' which can somehow regulate ettmetal's effects with the flip of a switch.{{book ref|mb6|17}} When used Allomantically, the metal is said to burn "with a pure whiteness" and will slowly be consumed,{{book ref|mb6|22}} in the same way it would be by a Misting or Mistborn. It is used to fuel Southern Scadrian Allomantic technology, including their airships that run via [[steel]]pushing.{{book ref|mb6|22}} It is theoretically possible to use a primer cube to reproduce other [[Investiture]]s, such as [[Surgebinding]].{{wob ref|15665}}
