{{quote|You realize the forces I can bring to bear against you, child? You realize the power I have, the destruction I represent? I am mountains that crush. I am waves that crash. I am storms that shatter. I am '''the end.'''|Ruin to [[Vin]].{{book ref|mb3|72}}}}
'''Ruin''' is a [[Shard|Shard of Adonalsium]]. Its original [[Shardholder]] was [[Ati]], but is currently held by [[Sazed]].
== Intent ==
Ruin seeks change. It is not inherently evil, because without death there is no change, but its destructive actions are often contrary to life existing peacefully. This intent has not changed with the Fusing of [[Preservation]] it is just tempered by it.
== Associated magic ==
Ruin fuels [[Hemalurgy]], one of the three Metalic Arts on [[Scadrial]].
Individuals who are pierced by Hemalurgic spikes can hear Ruin's voice in their head. The more spikes in a person the more holes in their spirit web, this allows for easier control by the holder of the Shard of Ruin. Inquisitors with so many spikes are more susceptible than [[Kandra]] with only 2 Spikes.
== Physical Manifestations of Power ==
*Gas
A black mist is a manifestation of ruins power how this effects Hemalurgy is unknown if at all. this mist was present at the well of ascension upon Vin's discovery of the well. A similar manifestation appeared after [[Ati]]'s death before [[Sazed]] took up both shards. After the Final ascension a Black mist appears similar how to the normal mists appear.
*Liquid
A pool of metallic liquid is said to exist below the [[Pits of Hathsin]] and this is the liquid form of Ruin's power.
Solid
The solid form of Ruins'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 Hemalergic spike is able to Steal any attribute, whether it be [[Allomancy]], [[Feruchemy]], or human.
== Lore ==
=== The deal and betrayal ===
Ruin and [[Preservation]], the two [[Shard|Shards]] on Scadrial, struck a deal to create
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
=== Touch on the world ===
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.
Ruin was released from his prison accidentally by [[Vin]] 1024 years later (due to his manipulating the prophecies), and he immediately went on a rampage to destroy Scadrial. Central to this plan was his need to overcome Preservation, which meant that he needed to find the stash of atium left behind by the Lord Ruler.
The end of Ruin was Preservation's plan all along. He needed someone new, and therefore not molded to Preservation's intent, to make the sacrifice needed to destroy Ruin. Leras spent too much time holding the Preservation Shard, and was thus unable to act against its intent.
[[Sazed]] picked up both
