=== Interactions with Harmonium ===
When an electric current is passed through [[harmonium]], the metal softens and its Investiture begins to polarize, becoming more atium-like on one end and more lerasium-like on the other.{{book ref|mb7|15}} If trellium is inserted between the two poles, a violent reaction occurs, as some of the harmonium's Investiture or matter is converted into pure energy.{{book ref|mb7|17}} TheWhile this technique fails to divide the harmonium, the resultant blast is extremely powerful; converting less than half a gram of harmonium into energy is capable of destroying a thick safe and the fortified room around it.{{book ref|mb7|17}} This interaction can be used to create powerful bombs; however, as these weapons rely upon a novel energy release mechanism, not even Autonomy or [[Harmony]] fully understand their true destructive potential.{{book ref|mb7|69}} In addition, the explosion produces small amounts of [[lerasium]] and [[atium]].{{book ref|mb7|71}}{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|4}} Harmony uses this effect to manufacture atium.
 
A separate interaction, detonating harmonium against trellium, produces small amounts of [[lerasium]] and [[atium]].{{book ref|mb7|71}}{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|4}} Harmony uses this effect to manufacture atium.
 
== Allomantic Use ==
Trellium can steal Allomantic and Feruchemical abilities and grant them to kandra.{{book ref|mb5|epilogue}} 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 [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgic]] spike can keep the user hidden from [[Harmony]].{{wob ref|6300}}{{wob ref|307}} 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.{{wob ref|6300}}
 
Using trellium as a spike allows users to communicate with others. They can speak to others who have a Hemalurgic spike, but they cannot hear their thoughts.{{book ref|mb5|9}}{{book ref|mb5|10}} They can also create a Connection with Autonomy's avatars, allowing them to communicate and feel each other's presence.{{book ref|mb7|19}}{{book ref|mb7|66}} Some individuals spiked with trellium exhibit glowing red eyes at times.{{book ref|mb7|55}} This behavior is inconsistent; [[Granks]]'s eyes start faintly glowing during his fight with Marasi, then the glow becomes vivid when he is near death. The glow fades once Marasi removes his trellium spike and he dies.{{book ref|mb7|6}} Furthermore, Autonomy herself can act and speak through an individual spiked by a trellium spike.{{book ref|mb7|55}}{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|1}} The exact factors that allow Autonomy to do so are unclear; as both known instances of her control involve the individual near death, it may be that she can only do so when the soul is close to the [[Spiritual Realm]].
