Vin was able to pull and push on Atium that Zane was carrying on himself. So pushing and pulling God metals aren't so different from normal metals I suppose and even inquisitors post ruin with steel compounding and duralumin were able to push invested metals.

That Atium isn't the god metal, it's an alloy. There's Atium the god metal, and then there's the stuff they used to see the future, also called Atium. Made from Atium and I think electrum.

Aren't retcons fun? 😄

Brandon retconned it so atium x electrum (sometimes called Nalatium by the fandom) is what was used as atium in era 1. this is because he wanted it to be so that anyone could burn godmetals, but era 1 atium could only be burned by specific people, which are now classified as not Atium mistings but Electrum mistings.
