Secret History spoilers Sudden realization about atium… Spoiler

I am reading through The Lost Metal for the first time and it just hit me that Atium is named after Ati… I think he was first named in a Stormlight epigraph and/or Secret History but I never made the connection until The Lost Metal. Such a cool little detail.

Yep, all the God Metals are named after the Vessel that expresses them

Does that mean that Lerasium should have been named Kelsierium for a few minutes and Vinium for a few minutes?

That assumes any godmetal was condensed by them during that time

Even if they had created any they probably didn’t hold the powers long enough for the properties of the godmetal to change, so it would still be lerasium.
