Difference between revisions of "Atium"

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.

 

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. If another Allomancer burning atium is encountered, the atium shadows will split, since each seeing into the other's future means that they can both make different decisions that affect both Allomancers' outcomes. An Allomancer's atium shadow will also split when burning [[electrum]].

Atium, when used by a Feruchemist, stores age. When storing age, the Feruchemist spends time older. When tapping age, the Feruchemist then spends time younger.

 

 

When used as a Hemalurgic spike, atium is like a wild card. Depending on where it is placed, it can steal any Hemalurgic property and it does so better than other spikes.{{wob ref|5971}}
