The metal '''silver''' has some notable properties in the [[cosmere]].{{wob ref|1633}} The effects of silver are still not fully understood.{{wob ref|15726}}
== Uses ==
The chains are described as "silver" or "silvery", but their exact composition is unclear. [[Raboniel]] was immediately shocked at the sight of a Threnodite chain on [[Roshar]]{{book ref|sa4|60}} while [[Kaladin]] failed to notice anything unusual about a chain that he saw in [[Shadesmar]],{{book ref|sa3|102}} implying that the chains have distinguishing characteristics that are not obvious to every observer.

On planets where silver is not known to exhibit special properties (such as [[Scadrial]], Roshar, and [[Sel]]), it is typically used as jewelry or decoration.{{book ref|mb3|8}}{{book ref|sa2.5|prologue}}{{book ref|elantris|8}}▼
Silver is [[Allomancy|Allomantically]] inert.{{wob ref|7983}} It may have interesting properties, but on Scadrial they are largely undiscovered.{{wob ref|11892}} Like all metals other than [[aluminum]] (and certain aluminum alloys), it can be used as an anchor by [[Coinshot]]s and [[Lurcher]]s.{{book ref|mb5|2}}{{wob ref|11239}} Although silver alone does not have Allomantic properties, [[electrum]] is an alloy of forty-five percent [[gold]] and fifty-five percent silver.{{book ref|mb3|31}}▼

Silver has interesting properties that are undiscovered on Scadrial.{{wob ref|1633}}{{wob ref|11892}} It is unclear if these properties would directly affect the [[Metallic Arts]].
====Roshar====
On Roshar, silver could potentially be used to permanently kill [[spren]], unlike aluminum.{{wob ref|15671}} A silver-nickel alloy houses the [[polestone]] on the pommel of at least one [[Raysium]] dagger used by the [[Fused]], but the metal does not affect the dagger's function.{{file ref|Navani's Notebook - Dagger.jpg|Navani's Notebook - Raboniel's Soul-Harvesting Dagger}}
