Difference between revisions of "Trellium"

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.
