Atium doesn;t work that way. It shows exactly what will happen in the near-future. The only possible way to counter Atium is to Burn Atium or Electrum, confusing your opponent, or to make your opponent run out of Atium by forcing them to Burn for a long period of time, as Atium runs out fast. He can also push on the objects, or give merely a sharp "tug" to unbalance Link. In the Mistborn series, Kelsier Pushes/Pulls on coins to make startlingly effective weapons.
