'''Ettmetal''' is a kind of metal known to the [[Southern Scadrian]]s. It is also called '''harmonium''' by [[Harmony]]{{reddit ref|books|2ytg2h|csuq5u3|text=Sazed didn't like the sound of Sazedium.|date=7 july 2015}}{{17s ref|post|513046|Ettmetal is Harmonium|date=December 3, 2016}}. Ettmetal can reproduce a particular power of [[Allomancy]] after physical contact with an Allomancer using that power.{{book ref|mb6|17}} This form of Allomancy slowly uses up the ettmetal{{book ref|mb6|22}}, similar to how other metals are burned up by an Allomancer. Unlike most other metals except [[aluminum]], ettmetal's Allomantic property works without being ingested. It appears to have the opposite effect to aluminum when interacting with Allomancy, as aluminum negates it while ettmetal mimics it. |
|||
Ettmetal explodes when in contact with water and burns "with a pure whiteness" when releasing Allomantic energy. It is used to fuel Southern Scadrian Allomantic technology, including their airships that run via [[Steel]]pushing.{{book ref|mb6|22}} They also have a device called the '''primer cube''' that can somehow regulate ettmetal's effects with the flip of a switch.{{book ref|mb6|17}} The Southern Scadrians also use ettmetal to create powerful bombs{{book ref|mb6|22}}, which the [[Set]] have been trying to replicate to limited success.{{book ref|mb6|epilogue}} |
|||
Because of its explosive interaction with water, ingesting ettmetal is likely fatal even for Allomancers. It is also likely impossible to make ettmetal [[Hemalurgic]] spikes for the same reason. Whether or not a [[Feruchemical]] attribute can be stored or tapped from it is currently unknown. |

== Harmonium as a God Metal == |
|||
{{theory}} |
|||
Whereas [[atium]] contains the condensed power of [[Ruin]] and [[lerasium]] the condensed power of [[Preservation]], ettmetal is the combination of both powers in condensed form. This combination of opposite Intents somehow affects the Physical aspect of the metal, particularly its chemical properties, making it extremely reactive. |
|||
[[Harmony]] is another manifestation of Ruin and Preservation combined on a grander and more complete sense. This makes "harmonium" a fitting name for ettmetal, as it reflects Harmony's combined nature. It is known that harmonium is a term [[Sazed]] (as Harmony) chose for the metal{{reddit ref|books|2ytg2h|csuq5u3|text=Sazed didn't like the sound of Sazedium.|date=7 july 2015}}, but whether or not the metal existed in Southern Scadrial prior to Sazed's [[Final Ascension|Ascension]] is currently unknown. Combinations of the two Shard's powers have been known to exist even from the beginning (e.g. the Metallic Art of Feruchemy), so it might be possible that ettmetal reserves existed before Sazed took up the Shards. |
|||
If ettmetal did exist prior to Harmony, its ability to mimic the effects of the Metallic Arts could be the key to how [[Rashek]] kept the South Scadrians alive under the scorching heat of the Scadrial's sun without genetic modifications{{qa ref|727|79|Rashek and the Southern Scadrians|date=October 2008}}. This theory would only work if ettmetal can mimic the Feruchemical storage of [[Brass#Feruchemical_Use|heat]], and this is currently unknown. |
|||
== Trivia == |
|||
* The term "harmonium" has never been used in the stories published so far, but [[Brandon Sanderson]] introduced the term in one of his talks even before the release of [[Shadows of Self]]{{qa ref|1094|43|Salt Lake City Comic-Con|date=Sep 4th, 2014}} and has afterwards confirmed that it is another term for ettmetal.{{17s ref|post|513046|Ettmetal is Harmonium|date=December 3, 2016}} [[Marasi]] probably did not know the term harmonium when Allik described ettmetal to her, as otherwise the word would have translated.{{book ref|mb6|22}} |
|||
* [[Brandon Sanderson]] has described ettmetal as "super-cesium" in reference to its violent chemical reaction to water.{{17s ref|post|513046|Ettmetal is Harmonium|date=December 3, 2016}} Cesium, like other alkali metals, is an extremely reactive real life metal, and will cause an explosion with water even at sub-zero temperatures. |
