=== Chemical Properties ===
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]], 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}} In order to prevent this reaction, it is stored within oil.{{book ref|mb7|13}} It does not react with acids.{{book ref|mb7|13}}
 
It is soft and pliable like gold, especially when heated via flame or electricity.{{book ref|mb7|13}}{{book ref|mb7|15}} When heated by electricity and slowly drawn apart, a nugget of harmonium begins to separate, with the two parts beginning to take on the traits of atium and lerasium. However, when the string of metal between them is cut, both sides return to being mere harmonium.{{book ref|mb7|15}}
 
It has an extraordinarily high melting point, above 3,000 degrees.{{book ref|mb7|13}} When heated, it lets off a full spectrum of light, with an unknown colour of the spectrum going off the spectrometric scale.{{book ref|mb7|13}}
 
== Metallic Arts ==
== Reaction to Trellium ==
 
When ettmetal has eletricelectric currents moving passing through it the metal softens and can be split in half.{{book ref|mb7|15}} If, during this process, [[trellium]] is inserted between the two pieces a violent reaction occurs as the matter of both metals are converted into pure energy. This reaction is not complete, only converting a small fraction of the used metals into energy.{{book ref|mb7|17}} The blast is powerful enough that not even Autonomy or [[Harmony]] are aware as to how strong an explosion of it can be.{{book ref|mb7|69}} Minor fragments of lerasium and atium are also produced by this reaction.{{book ref|mb7|71}}{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|4}}
 
Ettmetal and Trellium repel each other, with the strength of repulsion becoming stronger the closer they are forced together.{{book ref|mb7|15}}
