▲'''Lerasium''' is a god metal. A normal person burning lerasium becomes a [[Allomancy#Mistborn|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 anall unknown qualityabilities.
 
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. Presumably, the name "lerasium" is inherited from [[Leras]], the name of the original holder of the Shard Preservation, just as the name "[[atium]]" is inherited from [[Ati]], the original holder of the Shard [[Ruin]]. Lerasium cannot be combined with atium to make [[harmonium]], nor can harmonium be broken down into lerasium and atium. While it would not be possible to get lerasium and atium from harmonium through distillation or other mundane methods, through some supernatural means it may be achievable.{{wob ref|12145}}
 
== Allomantic Use ==
For normal people, burning lerasium forges a permanent connection[[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.{{annotationwob ref|mb3|chapter=387708}} Someone knowledgeable enough could use the rewrite of their spiritual DNA to achieve a different result than becoming a Mistborn.{{wob ref|5499}}{{wob ref|11939}} Burning [[duralumin]] in conjunction with lerasium does not have any effect on the strength of the Mistborn created.,{{redditwob ref|books|2ytg2h|ctpntsb|text=would3618}} burningbut duraluminthe andsize lerasiumof makethe ultrapowerfulbead Mistborn?|date=does Augaffect 3rd,the 2015}}strength of the Mistborn created.{{wob ref|3618341}}
 
Alloys of lerasium have the side effect of turning those who burn them into [[Misting]]s of the metalalloy lerasium is alloyed withused.{{file ref|metal_wheel.jpg|text=The Allomantic table of metals (sans text)}}{{wob ref|7624}} Alloys of lerasium and other god metals can make the those who burn them gain the [[Investiture]] associated with the god metal.{{wob ref|10624}} The primary effects of lerasium alloys are also unknown.
 
=== [[Savant]]ismSavantism ===
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 ==
{{icon|lerasium|f|150px|thumb|right|The Feruchemical symbol for lerasium}}
Lerasium, when used by a Feruchemist, has unknown properties.
 
== Hemalurgic Use ==
When used as a Hemalurgic spike, lerasium steals someall unknownabilities.{{file traitref| orHemalurgy qualitytable.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}}
*Alloying lerasium and atium after Preservation and Ruin combined will not give [[harmonium]]. Splitting harmonium through distillation will give something different from lerasium and atium. While difficult, it is possible to split harmonium through distillation to get lerasium and atium.{{wob ref|12145}}
