'''Ettmetal''' is a kind of metal known to the [[Southern Scadrian]]s. It is also called '''harmonium''' by [[Harmony]]{{reddit ref|books|2ytg2h|csuq5u3|text=Sazed didn't like the sound of Sazedium.|date=7 july 2015}}{{17s ref|post|513046|Ettmetal is Harmonium|date=December 3, 2016}}. In conjunction with south Scadrian technology, ettmetal can reproduce a particular power of [[Allomancy]] or [[Feruchemy]] when it is in the vicinity of that power.{{book ref|mb6|17}}{{book ref|mb6|29}} When an Allomantic effect is produced, it slowly uses up the ettmetal{{book ref|mb6|22}}, similar to how metals are burned up by an Allomancer. Unlike most other metals except [[aluminum]], ettmetal's Allomantic property works without being ingested. It appears to have the opposite effect to aluminum when interacting with Allomancy, as aluminum negates Allomancy while ettmetal mimics it.
 
Ettmetal explodes when in contact with water and burns "with a pure whiteness" when releasing Allomantic energy. It is used to fuel Southern Scadrian Allomantic technology, including their airships that run via [[Steel]]pushing.{{book ref|mb6|22}} They also have a device called the '''primer cube''' that can somehow regulate ettmetal's effects with the flip of a switch.{{book ref|mb6|17}} The Southern Scadrians also use ettmetal to create powerful bombs{{book ref|mb6|22}}, which the [[Set]] have been trying to replicate with limited success.{{book ref|mb6|epilogue}}
