At the moment, we're not treating nalatium as a confirmed name or including any speculation about anything beyond what Brandon said in the stream, and are also holding off on really reworking things as this is potentially a major retcon and it's not clear what exactly it means in detail

== Hemalurgic Use ==
When used as a Hemalurgic spike, atium is like a wild card.{{wob ref|5971}} Depending on where it is placed, it can steal any power (i.e., the ability to use an Invested Art, such as Allomancy or [[sand mastery]]){{wob ref|14896}} and it does so better than other spikes.{{wob ref|5971}}
== Alloys ==
== Trivia ==
* Atium was modeled after platinum, and would be considered a [[wikipedia:platinum group|platinum group]] metal.{{wob ref|10577}}
* Brandon has stated that, since writing ''Mistborn'' Era 1, he has wished he made atium usable by all Allomancers as it "feels off" that a God Metal is only usable by Mistborn (and Seers). If a ''Mistborn'' film is ever made, he would likely want to make this change in the movie.{{wob ref|13821}} On other occasions, he has also indicated interest in some day exploring why atium is limited in this way{{wob ref|416}}{{wob ref|6322}}{{wob ref|13225}}
