(Hero of Ages leatherbound Ars Arcanum says age, which is the last time it was in a AA. The Feruchemical Use section should be rephrased in my opinion.)

'''Atium''' is a [[God Metal]]. An Allomancer burning atium is able to see into the future by a few seconds. Feruchemists can use atium to store youthfulnessage, and when used as a Hemalurgic spike, atium steals any property or power. The metal is a reflective, silvery color, so much so that beads of atium almost appear to be drops of liquid.{{book ref|mb1|13}}
 
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; to regain the power contained in the atium, Ruin would have needed to manifest in some way.{{wob ref|14839}}
 
== Feruchemical Use ==
Atium, when used by a Feruchemist, stores youthfulnessage. When storing youthfulnessage, the Feruchemist spends time older. When tapping youthfulnessage, the Feruchemist then spends time younger.
