'''Lerasium''' is a god metal. A normal person burning lerasium becomes a [[Allomancy\|Mistborn]]. 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. 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]]. == 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.{{annotation ref\|mb3\|chapter=38}} 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.{{wob ref\|3618}} Alloys of lerasium have the side effect of turning those who burn them into [[Misting]]s of the ~~metal~~alloy ~~lerasium is alloyed with~~used.{{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. === Savantism === == 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 ally.{{wob ref\|8001}} He left two beads near the Well, for reasons unknown. After taking the power at the [[Well of Ascension]], [[Rashek]] rewarded his allies and friends with beads of lerasium, turning them into the first mistborns (allomancy was already present in the gene pool prior to this, but was much weaker.) It is unknown whether [Rashek] created the beads, or if they were already present near the well. The Lord Ruler left two beads near the well, possibly to be used upon need.{{cite}} However, neither of these beads were used prior to the fall of the Final Empire~~, one being stolen and consumed by [[Hoid]], travelling through the spiritual realm, and left through the well's [[perpendicularity]]~~.~~{{wob~~ ~~ref\|12210}} The other~~One bead was fed to Elend to save his life after being attacked by [[Leras]] in an attempt to prevent [[Vin]] from releasing Ruin from the ~~well~~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 ==
