'''Cadmium''' is the external temporal pulling metal. An [[Allomancy|Allomancer]] burning cadmium is able to stretch time in a bubble around them, making it pass more slowly. Feruchemists can use cadmium to store breath, and when used as a Hemalurgic spike, cadmium steals Temporal Allomantic powers.
 
The paired alloy of cadmium used in the Metallic Arts is [[bendalloy]].{{book ref|mb4|10}}
 
== Allomantic Use ==
When a time bubble is created, the area of the bubble stays stationary with respect to a moving object as long as the Pulser creating it is stationed on an object large enough. For example, someone standing on a planet, which is quite massive, is still actually moving with the rotation of the planet, and the bubble moves with that person, but the bubble itself stays in the same place with respect to the planet. However, if the Pulser who created a time bubble is on a small, moving object (or the person merely walks to the edge of the bubble), the Pulser will be transported through the bubble, "popping" it.{{book ref|mb6|17}} Objects entering or exiting the bubble are thrown wildly off-course, most likely because different parts of the object are moving at different speeds during the transition.{{book ref|mb4|2}} When leaving the bubble, time bubbles interfere with almost all forms of [[Investiture]].{{wob ref|78}} When multiple bubbles occur in the same space their effects are multiplied.{{wob ref|3936}}
 
Some potential "non-combative" uses for cadmium Allomancy include advancing personal time to a desired date,{{book ref|mb4|12}} performance art in which one or more performers utilize cadmium "pulses" to enhance the exhibition, and scientific observation of processes/reactions which would otherwise not be observable in real-time.{{cite}} Cadmium is involved in multiple ways with faster-than-light travel.{{wob ref|12107}}
 
Slowness bubbles can be popped by [[aluminum]].{{wob ref|4297}}
== History ==
During the [[Final Empire]], cadmium and [[bendalloy]] were inaccessible and unknown to Allomancers, though they were possibly known to the [[Lord Ruler]].{{wob ref|5493}} The fact that their technology couldn't create the metals made Mistings of these types impossible to discover. After the [[Catacendre]], advancement in technology eventually made the metals available.
 
== Trivia ==
* The original plans for bendalloy and cadmium involved blueshifting and redshifting or blueshifting of light passing through the bubble. But this was dropped as it would have lead to people outside being microwaved and blasted with radiation.{{wob ref|128}}{{wob ref|8084}} This was solved through the transfer of energy between the Physical and Spiritual Realms.{{wob ref|2761}}
