Atium is notable as it is the condensed power of the [[Shard]] [[Ruin]]. As a result, an Allomancer burning atium does not draw on [[Preservation]]'s power; instead, the [[Investiture]] of the metal provides the power.{{wob ref|8028}} It was sequestered away at the Pits of Hathsin by [[Preservation]] when the latter gave up his mind to trap Ruin.
 
Presumably, the name "atium" is inherited from [[Ati]], the name of the original holder of the Shard Ruin, just as the name "[[lerasium]]" is inherited from [[Leras]], the original holder of the Shard Preservation. Atium cannot be combined with lerasium to make [[harmoniumettmetal]], nor can harmoniumettmetal be broken down into atium and lerasium. While it would not be possible to get atium and lerasium from harmoniumettmetal through distillation or other mundane methods, it may be possible through some other method.{{wob ref|12145}}
