====[[Atium]]====
Atium stores Age - or more specifically, Youth. Storing age is usually a fairly useless endeavor: in order to be young for a time, a Feruchemist needs to stay older for a time as they fill their Metalminds. It can, however, be useful for disguising a Feruchemist's identity.
Of Particular interest however, is that - since Compounding provides a greater burst of the attribute store than was initially stored in the Metalmind, it is possible for a Person capable of both Allomancy and Feruchemy, to "gain" more youth then they store.
Essentially, they become immortal, able to repetitively retrieve youth.
The disadvantage of this is of course, the fact that the since Atium is burned up in the Process, a permanent supply of the metal is necessary.
This, in addition to the fact that an Atium Twinborn, or Allomancer-Feruchemist, are almost non-existent, makes the practice incredibly rare.
So far in the series, it has only be used by [[The Lord Ruler]] and [[Iron Eyes]], although Atium Twinborn (If they exist) and a number of the [[Steel Inquisitors]] under [[Ruin]]s control might have been capable of duplicating the feat.
The name for an atium [[Ferring]] is, as of yet, unknown; as none have been discovered to the knowledge of the world at large.
