▲'''Lerasium''' is a god metal. A normal person burning lerasium becomes a [[Allomancy|Mistborn]] of undiluted power. A Misting or Mistborn burning lerasium drastically increases their powers. [[Feruchemist]]s can use lerasium to store an unknown quality, and when used as a [[Hemalurgic]] spike, lerasium steals all abilities.
Lerasium is notable as it is the condensed power of the [[Shard]] [[Preservation]]. The only known source were beads found at the Well of Ascension.
== Allomantic Use ==
For normal people, burning lerasium forges a permanent [[Connection]] between them and Preservation, turning them into very powerful Mistborn by rewriting their [[Spiritweb|spiritual DNA]].{{wob ref|10116}} For people who are already Mistborn, the same effect increases their power.{{wob ref|1304}} However, turning people into Mistborn is only a side effect of burning lerasium; if someone who knew how to use it correctly were to burn it, it would have a different, as of yet unknown, effect.{{
Alloys of lerasium have the side effect of turning those who burn them into [[Misting]]s of the
=== Savantism ===
If someone were able to burn the amount of lerasium needed to become an Allomantic [[savant]] with the metal, they would ascend and become the holder of Preservation, similar to what happened when [[Vin]] consumed the [[mists]].{{wob ref|1248}} This is due to the nature of the metal as the condensed power of Preservation.
== Feruchemical Use ==
Lerasium, when used by a Feruchemist, has unknown properties.
== Hemalurgic Use ==
When used as a Hemalurgic spike, lerasium steals all abilities.{{file ref| Hemalurgy table.jpg | Hemalurgy Table}} This wastes most of its potential.{{wob ref|5912}}
== History ==
Lerasium was created by Leras.{{wob ref|6046}} Rashek collected the beads,{{wob ref|140}} after taking the power of Preservation at the [[Well of Ascension]], and used them to entice foreign kings to become his allies.{{wob ref|8001}} He left two beads near the Well, for reasons unknown.
However, neither of these beads were used prior to the fall of the Final Empire. One bead was fed to Elend to save his life after being attacked by [[Leras]], whose hand was directed by [[Kelsier]], in an attempt to prevent [[Vin]] from releasing Ruin from the Well. The other was stolen and consumed by [[Hoid]], after he used the Well to transition from the Cognitive Realm to the Physical.{{wob ref|12210}}
== Trivia ==
* If [[Harmony]] wanted to, he could produce more lerasium.{{wob ref|9713}}
