(Added etymology.)
'''Lerasium''' is one of the two god metals. A normal person burning lerasium becomes a [[Allomancy#Mistborn|Mistborn]]. A Misting or Mistborn burning lerasium drastically increases their powers. Feruchemists can use lerasium to store an unknown quality, and when used as a Hemalurgic spike, lerasium steals an unknown quality.
 
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].
