Comment on Anon finds a plot hole

The Infinite Luck Soldiers at the end of Escaflowne had a scene like this and it was one of the best mecha battle flights I’ve ever watched.

See: Mistborn, where you have a very expensive resource that, when ingested by a person that can use that universe’s magic, gives one an ability to peek a few seconds into the future. That’s is more or less what you are describing.
Oh, and Mistborn magic system is based on ingesting different metals and alloys, and basically turns one into a supercharged Magneto from X-Men, if Magneto also got superstrength, supersenses and the ability to manipulate emotions. Despite how wacky it sounds, it’s an extremely well thought out and consistent magic system.

Allomancy got you a lot more than just peaking into the future. I only made it through the Final Empire season, but I’m familiar with the setup.

Yeah, but specifically the atium is very close to the luck potion in how easy it makes it for the user to just rewrite their immediate future (at least, in combat). All the other stuff could be roughly equivalent to your average wizard’s spell arsenal.
Also, you will not regret finishing the series. It’s a ride and a half
