What would a Atium boosted by Duralumin do?

What would be the Extra ability of the Atium if this happened? Would it overpower someone else using Atium?

We actually know this. 

Elend did this fighting Marsh at the end of HoA. 

I'm pretty sure duralumi/atium lets you see further ahead to the consequences of your actions. 

So, more or less, Elend knew that if Marsh killed him Vin would kill Ruin and Sazed would save the world.

Hmmm. I'd say it would be. Not in every case, but it'd have its place.

It is kind of like using duralumin pewter or steel in a fight. Yes, you're going to burn it all out, but doing this allows for nore possibilities than regular burns and flares alone. 

As for atium V atium specifically, I'd say duralumin/atium might give you a better edge than atium alone. At a guess I'd say it might allow you to see a little further or predict the enemy atium user. But there might be WoB on this I'm not aware of.

Yeah as Savanorn mentioned we do see this during the climax of HoA and basically what it does is break things and allow you to look directly into the Spiritual Realm, where all times exist as one.

 

I guess that make sense. thx

now, follow up question, what do you THINK (keyword think) happens when you burn Lerasium and duralumin? this would probably be a waste, because you'd already need to be a mistborn, or a duralumin misting to begin with. 

I would assume probably nothing, or that it might give you something like ferauchemy as well

First of all, anyone can burn Lerasium, though you would have to be a duralumin misting. As a general effect, lerasium changes your spiritweb. Also, it appears that it burned instantaneously for Elend, making him into a mistborn in an instant. As such, I don't think duralumin would do anything, since lerasium already burns in a moment.

I think there's WoB that it wouldn't do anything more than normally consuming it.

I think duralumin works by burning all of the metal at once, giving a big spike of investiture... but I thing lerasium is really defined by how much you burn, not how quickly, so you'd still end up the same strength. 

Although there is the issue that actually burning lerasium might have a different effect we don't know if one is already an allomancer.

Also this.

Lerasium Allomantic Effect is "Rewrite your spiritweb" as default effect (without any specific istruction) it simply rewrites your Connection to Preservation Stronger and as side effect it turn you into a Mistborn. If an Allomancer burns Lerasium (again without specific istructions) the Lerasium would simply stack more Allomantic Strenght to the burner (for example we have a WoB that said "if Vin would burn a Lerasium bead, She will become an Allomancer stronger than Elend")

EDIT to add the Wob

SHARDLET

If Vin and Elend hypothetically each blindly ingested equivalently sized beads of lerasium, would Vin be a stronger Mistborn than Elend, or would they be equal?

BRANDON SANDERSON

Yes, Vin would be stronger. It is additive, not just an overwrite.

The same thing happens with Hemalurgy; with Hemalurgy when you're spiking someone's soul, you're ripping off a piece and adding it.
