== 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}} * If harmonium followed the naming conventions of the other God Metals it would have been named ''Sazedium''. However, [[Sazed]] didn't like the sound of it.{{wob ref\|3539}} *[[Brandon Sanderson]] has described harmonium as "super-cesium" in reference to its violent chemical reaction with water.{{wob ref\|2544}} [[Wikipedia:Cesium\|Cesium]], like other real-life [[wikipedia:Alkali_metal\|alkali metals]], is extremely reactive and will cause an explosion with water even at sub-zero temperatures. He later clarified that cesium was not intended as a direct analogue; ettmetal would theoretically be classified as an alkali metal, although it has a different melting point.{{wob ref\|10577}}
