At some point, Preservation altered Allomancy to insert Ruin's god metal, atium, instead of one of the other metals{{wob ref|5971}}{{wob ref|2524}} in order to execute his plan to defeat Ruin using atium Mistings.{{wob ref|8063}} The Shard's plan eventually came to fruition during the [[Battle of Hathsin]] when Elend's army consumed a large proportion of the existing atium, preventing Ruin from accessing his full power.
Prior to the Ascension of the Lord Ruler, Allomancy was rarely found among the general population. The Lord Ruler's Ascension, and his subsequent distribution of the lerasium beads, increased the strength of the Allomantic spiritual DNA in the Final Empire, which had long lasting effects through the subsequent generations. Rashek, and his Steel Ministry, also suppressed knowledge of several of the Allomantic metals, so that only the four physical, four mental, gold, and atium, were known of by the general populace. Malatium became known through legend as ''The Eleventh Metal'', a rumor that may have been started by Ruin to help facilitate the downfall of the Lord Ruler. Prior to its destruction, atium and malatium were incorrectly classified as temporal metals instead of god metals by The Lord Ruler and his government. Due to the existence of malatium, it can be presumed that there are alloys for lerasium and harmonium.
Following the Final Ascension, [[Harmony]] altered Snapping to act differently.{{wob ref|4242}}{{wob ref|6888}} The Allomantic Table also changed at this time to remove Ruin's metals, with advances in technology also making [[cadmium]], [[bendalloy]], [[chromium]], and [[nicrosil]] more available.
