;Solid:
The solid form of Ruin's power, a metal known as [[atium]], allows the user to see a few seconds into the future when Allomantically burned. [[Atium]] can also be used to store youth with [[Feruchemy]], that youth can be [[Compounding|compounded]] to create a semblance of agelessness. Atium when used as a Hemalurgic spike is able to steal any attribute, whether it be [[Allomancy|Allomantic]], [[Feruchemy|Feruchemic]], or human.

=== The deal and betrayal ===
Ruin and [[Preservation]], the two [[Shard|Shards]]s on Scadrial, struck a deal to create life on the planet. Neither Shard could create by themselves but working together they created life. Preservation gave an extra bitpiece of Itsits selfpower to create sentient life.

Preservation broke the terms of the agreement by sacrificing his mind to create a prison for Ruin's mind, preventing him from destroying the world. Furthermore, in an attempt to balance the power (since some of Preservation was now stored in humanity), he sequestered away a portion of Ruin's power by condensing it into the metal [[atium]].
Ruin's entrapped mind could still influence the world. In particular, he changed the prophecies left behind by Preservation in an attempt to get the Hero of Ages to release him from his prison. This led to [[Rashek]] becoming the Lord Ruler. Ruin also encouraged the mists, left behind by [[Preservation]], to choke off sunlight to the planet. This is what became known as the [[Deepness]] from Pre-Ascension times.

=== The death of Ati ===
Ruin's rampage was ended when he had [[Marsh]] kill [[Elend]].

The end of Ruin was Preservation's plan all along. Leras had held the Preservation shard for so long that he was bound by its intent, and could not kill or destroy anything, not even Ruin. He arranged to have the Shard pass on to a new holderVessel, someone who would not be so strongly bound toby the shardShard's intent, soand theythus would have more freedom to use its power.
 
[[Sazed]] picked up both Ruin and Preservation following Vin's sacrifice, and is the current Vessel of both Shards. Ruin's power was co-mingledmixed with [[Preservation]]'s, forming the shardShard [[Harmony]].{{wob ref|4115}}
