Trellium, also known as bavadinium, is the God Metal of Autonomy.[1]
Trellium is a silvery metal with a red cast to it, and dark red spots similar to rust.[2][3]
Allomantic Use
When burned by an Allomancer, trellium has unknown properties.[4]
Feruchemical Use
When used by a Feruchemist, trellium has unknown properties.[4]
Hemalurgic Use
Trellium can steal Allomantic and Feruchemical abilities and grant them to kandra.[3] Presumably its Hemalurgic ability is similar to that of atium, allowing the transfer of any ability with somewhat variable success depending on the binding point.
Using it as a Hemalurgic spike can keep the user hidden from Harmony.[5][6] This has a limited effect, however, and any more than a single spike will make the user visible to the Shard. It is an inherent property of the metal, and not a Hemalurgic attribute, that hides the user.[5]
Hemalurgic Constructs
Hemalurgic chimeras are created when a living human is implanted with a trellium spike.[2] Due to their single spike, they are not susceptible to Harmony's control.
Trivia
- In the Alloy of Law: Masks of the Past adventure game supplement, trellium allows kandra to use the Allomantic or Feruchemical abilities of another Hemalurgic spike they are spiked with. They also cannot be controlled by Harmony or brass Allomancy but they also lose their blessing.
