'''Trellium''', also known as '''bavadinium''', is the [[God Metal]] of [[Autonomy]].
== Properties ==
Trellium is a silvery metal with a red cast to it, and dark red spots similar to rust.{{book ref|mb5|21}}{{book ref|mb5|epilogue}} Like other God Metals, it displays many unusual properties. It is notable for repelling other forms of [[Investiture]], with a force proportional to how close it is to the source of Investiture.{{book ref|mb7|15}} This causes it to try and roll away when in the proximity of harmonium, Hemalurgic spikes or an Allomancer burning metals.
=== Chemical Properties ===
The hardness of the metal is just above a nine, as it is scratched by diamond, but barely marks corundum. It is also very brittle. It has an extraordinarily high melting point, above 3,000 degrees. When heated, it lets off the full visual spectrum of light (i.e. it appears perfectly white), with the red portion of the spectrum going off the spectrometric scale.{{book ref|mb7|13}}
=== Interactions with Harmonium ===
When an electric current is passed through [[harmonium]], the metal softens and its Investiture begins to polarize, becoming more atium-like on one end and more lerasium-like on the other.{{book ref|mb7|15}} If trellium is inserted between the two poles, a violent reaction occurs, as some of the harmonium's Investiture or matter is converted into pure energy.{{book ref|mb7|17}} While this technique fails to divide the harmonium, the resultant blast is extremely powerful; converting less than half a gram of harmonium into energy is capable of destroying a thick safe and the fortified room around it.{{book ref|mb7|17}} This interaction can be used to create powerful bombs
== Allomantic Use ==
== Hemalurgic Use ==
Trellium can steal Allomantic and Feruchemical abilities and grant them to kandra.{{book ref|mb5|epilogue}} Presumably its Hemalurgic ability is similar to that of [[atium]], allowing the transfer of any ability with somewhat variable success depending on the binding point. Using it as a [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgic]] spike can keep the user hidden from [[Harmony]].{{wob ref|6300}}{{wob ref|307}} This has a limited effect, however, and any more than a single spike will make the user visible to the Shard. It is an inherent property of the metal, and not a Hemalurgic attribute, that hides the user.{{wob ref|6300}}
