Ati is a [[Shard]] of [[Adonalsium]], making him one of the most powerful entities in the [[cosmere]]. He is immortal, unaging, and incorporeal; he fuels the magics of [[Hemalurgy]] and, in part, [[Feruchemy]].{{epigraph ref|mb3|33}} Thanks to being heavily investedInvested in [[Scadrial]], he can alter any text other than what is written in metal, changing it to suit his needs.{{epigraph ref|mb2|1}} He can also speak to any person wearing a hemalurgic spike.{{book ref|mb5|7}} This all comes at a cost of a drastic personality change, as his mind was forced to adapt to [[Ruin]]'s intent.{{epigraph ref|sa1|18}}
 
Apart from his supernatural abilities, Ati has proven to be adept at deception, when he wishes to be. His alterations are subtle enough to trick the unaware into thinking they are still reading the original text.{{book ref|mb2|epilogue}} When appearing in person, he can easily play a role of another; most notably, he was speaking in [[Reen]]'s voice in [[Vin]]'s head for years without tipping her off to the fact that she wasn't hearing her own thoughts, and he mimicked [[Kelsier]]'s voice to [[Spook]] to drive him to serve Ruin's purposes.{{book ref|mb3|45}}{{wob ref|7719}} Despite his destructive, megalomaniacal tendencies, he is easily able to play someone kind and affable.{{msh ref|2|3}}
