Trivia

Malatium is different from other allomantic metals, in that when it (and presumably the other Atium alloys) is burned, it provides the power rather than Preservation, since it is of Ruin.

Sazed made such conclusion because even after becoming god, he didn't find any evidences of existence of this legends before Kelsier's jorney.
