Harmonium is the condensed elemental form of [[Harmony]]'s power. Alloying [[atium]] and [[lerasium]] will not give harmonium. Additionally, splitting harmonium through distillation will give something different from atium and lerasium. While difficult, it is possible to obtain atium and lerasium from ettmetal through some other means.{{wob ref|12145}}
=== SafetyChemical IssuesProperty ===
Due to the merging of [[Ruin]] and [[Preservation]]'s [[Shard|intent]]s into Harmony, ettmetal's [[Spiritual Realm|Spiritual aspect]] is in opposition with itself, leading to effects on the metal's [[Physical Realm|Physical aspect]], particularly its chemical properties, which makes it extremely reactive.{{wob ref|1663}}{{wob ref|2548}} It reacts violently with water, similar to [[wikipedia:Alkali_metal|alkali metals]]. After reacting with water, residual ettmetal hydroxide is left behind, though the substance's properties are unknown.{{wob ref|12680}} The [[Southern Scadrian]]s use ettmetal to create powerful bombs,{{book ref|mb6|22}} which the [[Set]] have been trying to replicate with limited success.{{book ref|mb6|epilogue}}

=== Mechanical Uses ===
In conjunction with southSouthern [[Scadrian]] technology, ettmetal can reproduce Allomantic or Feruchemical powers within its vicinity.{{book ref|mb6|17}}{{book ref|mb6|29}} The Southern Scadrians have also used the metal in '''primer cubes''' which can somehow regulate ettmetal's effects with the flip of a switch.{{book ref|mb6|17}} When used Allomantically, the metal is said to burn "with a pure whiteness" and will slowly be consumed,{{book ref|mb6|22}} in the same way it would be by a Misting or Mistborn. It is used to fuel Southern Scadrian Allomantic technology, including their airships that run via [[steel]]pushing.{{book ref|mb6|22}}
