An atium [[Misting]] is known as a '''Seer'''.{{ref|group=fn|text=No true atium Misting actually exists, as Oracles were incorrectly thought to be atium Mistings.{{wob ref|15110}}}} 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 an [[electrum]] Allomancer, due to the nature of that metal's ability. It would also be possible to best a Seer by Compounding steel. While a steel Compounder would not be able to move faster than an atium Allomancer can predict, they could potentially move faster than the Seer is able to process the information they are gaining through their abilities.{{wob ref|244}} It is possible to defeat an atium Allomancer by using their reactions to the future against them, but is only known to have happened once.{{book ref|mb2|47}}
 
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}}
 
Unlike other God Metals, atium does not allow non-Allomancers to burn it, thought the reasons for this are unknown.{{wob ref|416}}{{wob ref|6322}}{{wob ref|13225}}

== Alloys ==
Atium may also be alloyed with any of the other Allomatic metals. OneHowever the only currently known atium alloy is [[malatium]], an atium-gold alloy. These alloys grant various expanded mental and temporal effects when burned.{{wob ref|4615}}
 
During the time of the Final Empire, Preservation made all atium created naturally to actually be an [[Atium-electrum alloy|unnamed]] alloy of atium and electrum.{{wob ref|15110}} This alloy acts almost identically to normal atium.
