An atium [[Misting]] is known as a '''Seer'''. Burning atium allows the user to see a few seconds into the future, by producing atium shadows of everything in sight. These shadows perform future actions. Burning atium expands the user's mind to be able to accept and process all of the information, even allowing the Allomancer to dodge incoming attacks from behind. [[Harmony]] speculates that atium makes the Allomancer burning it a more efficient killer because it draws upon Ruin's power.{{epigraph ref|mb3|78}}
Atium shadows, while hard to beat, are not impossible. The most common way to fight effectively against a Seer is by using another atium Allomancer, as when two Allomancers burn atium at the same time, the shadows they see will split into a multitude of possibilities, as a positive feedback loop is created by each person trying to predict a future the other has just changed. This effect will also occur when fighting against a electrum Allomancer, due to the nature of that metal's ability. It
Burning [[duralumin]] with atium will allow Allomancers to see farther into the future, by allowing them to peer into the [[Spiritual Realm]].{{book ref|mb3|81}}{{msh ref|6|9}}{{wob ref|3610}} The same effect can occur if a Hemalurgist has enough spikes enhancing their atium.{{wob ref|3610}} Aluminum objects do not generate atium shadows.{{wob ref|6870}} Atium does not enable a person to anticipate emotional Allomancy.{{wob ref|9038}}
After the [[Catacendre]], it is possible that atium still grows somewhere, but nothing is known about it.{{cite}}
