3 Dancer Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Only Mistborn and Atium Mistings can burn Atium. The army of Atium Mistings were directly created by Preservation through the mechanisms of the Mist Snappings. The asterisks is probably referring to the fact that anyone can burn Atium if they are spiked with an Atium spike. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the questioner was asking if Atium worked like Lerasium (a metal that anyone can burn and that turns you into a Mistborn). In Hemalurgy Atium steals any power. The Inquisitors used it to steal the ability to burn Atium from the Nobility or from allomantic Skaa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
