'''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 age, and when used as a Hemalurgic spike, atium steals any property or power. The metal is a reflective, silvery colour, 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]]. It was sequestered away at the Pits of Hathsin by [[Preservation]] when the latter gave up his mind to trap
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.
== Trivia ==
*Atium is different from other Allomantic metals in that when it (and presumably its alloys) is burned, it provides the power from
*[[Harmony]] speculates that atium makes the Allomancer burning it a more efficient killer since it draws upon Ruin's power.{{book ref|mb3|78}}
*Alloying atium and lerasium after Ruin and Preservation combined will not give [[harmonium]]. Splitting harmonium through distillation will give something different from atium and lerasium. While difficult, it is possible to split harmonium through distillation to get atium and lerasium.{{wob ref|12145}}
