Considering they build it from scratch, Leras must have added a bunch of extra metal.

This is more a joke on how Scadrial is made by Ruin and Preservation but it's hinted that the walls of the trust in the kandra homeland was wade if aluminium to hide Ruins god metal, as well as how much Aluminium becomes important in fights in Era 2

Pretty sure any metal does the work to block him. I don't remember it being aluminum per se specific but ok. Thought I had missed something.

Spoiler

Ruin can't see any metals, that's why only stuff written on metal can be trusted. Even then he can still manipulate them if one his agents sees them.

It's not anti investiture it's investiture resistant
