{{for|Atium}}
In solid form, Ruin's power appears as the metal [[atium]], named after the original Vessel. Like all
Atium burns incredibly quickly; even a relatively large bead lasts for only about two minutes.{{book ref|mb2|40}} Prior to the [[Final Ascension]], the metal could only be found in the [[Pits of Hathsin]], which surrounded Ruin's [[perpendicularity]]; a lake with black sheen, originally high in the mountains, near the [[Well of Ascension]], though it was moved underground by [[Rashek]] during his reshaping of the planet.{{book ref|mb1|33}}{{wob ref|5786}}{{wob ref|5525}} Production there ceased when [[Kelsier]] destroyed the crystals that atium grew from.{{book ref|mb1|32}} Post-[[Catacendre]], atium can no longer be formed, though remnants from before [[Ati]]'s death still exist.{{wob ref|6242}}
