#REDIRECCIÓN [[Armonium]]
{{icon|ettmetal|msh|150px|thumb|right|The symbol for ettmetal/harmonium}}

'''Ettmetal''' is a kind of metal known to the [[Southern Scadrian]]s. It is also called '''harmonium''' by [[Harmony]].{{wob ref|3539}}{{wob ref|2544}} In conjunction with south Scadrian technology, ettmetal can reproduce a particular power of [[Allomancy]] or [[Feruchemy]] when it is in the vicinity of that power.{{book ref|mb6|17}}{{book ref|mb6|29}} When an Allomantic effect is produced, it slowly uses up the ettmetal,{{book ref|mb6|22}} similar to how metals are burned up by an Allomancer.

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 with limited success.{{book ref|mb6|epilogue}}

Because of its explosive interaction with water, ingesting ettmetal is likely fatal even for Allomancers, though a full Mistborn with access to gold compounding could burn it for some effect.{{wob ref|9321}} It is also likely difficult to make ettmetal [[Hemalurgic]] spikes for the same reason, though not impossible. Whether or not a [[Feruchemical]] attribute can be stored or tapped from it is currently unknown.

== Harmonium as a God Metal ==
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.{{wob ref|1663}}{{wob ref|2548}}

Alloying atium and lerasium after Ruin and Preservation combined will not give harmonium. Splitting harmonium through distillation will give something different from atium and lerasium. While difficult, it is possible to split harmonium through distillation to get atium and lerasium.{{wob ref|12145}}

== 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]]{{wob ref|1033}} and has afterwards confirmed that it is another term for ettmetal.{{wob ref|2544}} [[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 with water.{{wob ref|2544}} [[Wikipedia:Cesium|Cesium]], like other alkali metals, is an extremely reactive real life metal and will cause an explosion with water even at sub-zero temperatures.
