=== Scadrial and Other Planets ===
Silver is [[Allomancy|Allomantically]] inert.{{wob ref|7983}}, but when alloyed with [[gold]] it makes allomantically viable [[electrum]]. 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}}
 
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}}
 
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}}
