Editing Metals and Minerals

==List of Metals and Minerals==
===[[Adamant|Adamantium]]===

Also known as '''Adamantite''' and '''Adamantine'''. It is the toughest pure metal in Innworld. Appears deep red with fiery orange, may shift color depending on how light hits it,<ref name=":6" /> and is naturally dull unless polished. Heavier than steel.<ref name=":0" /> It does not rust or decay.<ref name=":6" />

Smithing it is a true sign of mastery<ref name=":0" />, and [Smiths] fight over Artifacts that will allow them work it. When being taught how to forge Adamantium, it is traditional for [Smiths] to forge a bit of it, and then toss it into magma. If it is whole when retrieved, that means it was forged correctly.<ref name=":3" />

It is rarer than diamonds, not hard until it has been processed, and easy to miss while mining. Thus, it is sometimes mistaken for a weak mineral or clay even when it is found.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/05/07/6-14-k/ Chapter 6.14 K]</ref>

=== Chameth-marble / Chemath marble ===
A type of black-as-obsidian marble that look like nothing but waves of midnight, even under the sun. One of the most powerful materials for holding magic.<ref>{{VERef|10.06}}</ref> If not secured, it will passively absorb ambient magic and spells.<ref>{{VERef|10.29 M}}</ref> It used to be mined from [[Chandrar]]’s lightless ore-mines of Zethe, until they were overrun by monstrous beetles.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/11/29/9-26-f/ Chapter 9.26 F]</ref>

Notably, it has been used to make the palace of Khelt, the Graven Passage of Khelt, the thousand-foot walls of Nerrhavia's keep, the walls of Reim, the temples in Baleros, and the Fitorian Academy of Ailendamus. Samal also has some.

----

=== Chitrx Metal ===
A metal made by the [[Antinium]]. [[Klbkch]]'s swords and [[Bird]]'s Bow of Thiypc's Promise are made of this.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/07/01/9-50/ Chapter 9.50]</ref> It was also used for support struts in their Trial of Creation. None exists outside of Rhir, aside from the aforementioned armaments. Also referred to as Chitrx-chitin or just "Chitrx".

===[[Demas Metal]]===

A new magical alloy discovered by [[Mrell]] and named after his deceased mentor, the exiled [[Dwarves|Dwarf]] [Smelter] Demastel. It is colored a cloudy blue to violet depending on the weather and the position of the moons. It's composition includes Orichalcum and some sort of sea-stone. It can be made in greater quantity than Adamantium, Mithril, or pure Orichalcum items.

It's stronger and lighter than steel, and comparable to Mithril while being a bit heavier.<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/10/31/8-50/ Chapter 8.50]</ref> It lacks the elasticity to make bows out of it.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/04/13/8-79/ Chapter 8.79]</ref> It leaves an afterimage when striking with it.

It possesses a special ability, in which any liquid that comes into contact with it will form a second coating on top, giving weapons a longer reach and second edge, and making armor thicker. It is comparable to a Liquidtouch Enchantment, but can do this unenchanted.<ref name=":0" /> It also works with fire, and even electricity for a few seconds.<ref name=":2">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/10/27/8-49-m-revised/ Chapter 8.49 M]</ref>

----
===Dragonblood Crystal===

Also known as '''Cridel''', the deadly blood of Baleros, is a red-gold crystal that cuts sharp and hurts whomever it touches. The crystal could cut mere steel, and its edge is so sharp that just laying it pointed down on an anvil, it cut into the iron. 

If a blade made from it and Truegold, is treated with care, it shall last a year of war. A decade without. A century if only worn about and carried like a heirloom. But while it lasts, it will cut down anything it touches.<ref name=":5">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/06/28/7-31/ Chapter 7.31]</ref>

----
===Dwarfsteel (Titanium)===

Dwarfsteel is a type of metal named after Dwarves as they were the one who discovered it.

----

=== Erchirite ===
Topaz-like mineral, but not as transparent and with an inner sparkle.

----
===[[Grasgil]]===

Also known as '''The Frozen Metal''', '''The Cold Metal''', and '''Bronzewater''', is a liquid green metal that needs to be frozen while working it out. Has a dark cyan appearance when forged.<ref name=":4">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/01/22/7-01/ Chapter 7.01]</ref> When crystallized into a solid state, it has the ability to project sheer cold and freeze whatever it touches. 

----

=== Heitbane Granite ===
Has special anti-heat properties. 
----
===Heitore===

A heavy, dark grey, rough, granite-like rock substance which can rival Adamantium for strength, though is still breakable under enough pressure.<ref name=":8.40 CTV">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/29/8-40-ctv/ Chapter 8.40 CTV]</ref>

----
===Iveine Stone===

A type of stone that is not granite, or regular stone, that has an odd green-tinge that resembles mold.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/01/16/8-62-k/ Chapter 8.62 K]</ref>

----
===''Joi-marble''===

''Joi-marble'' is a treated magic marble. It is a poor conductor for magic and is used for insulation and containment.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/12/29/8-61/ Chapter 8.61]</ref>

----
===[[Magicore]]===

Also known as '''Mana Sludge''' is a type of mana-infused rock that is close to unrefined raw mana, in physical form. If the right magics is apply to it, it can turn it into a mana stone of unrivaled quality. It takes years or decades for the mana sludge to slowly condense, and crystallize into mana stones.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/04/23/6-10/ Chapter 6.10]</ref> 

When raw magicore is exposed to certain types of mana or other influences, it takes on a new nature defined by what it absorbs into itself. It can be used to extract the 'essence' of things like poison, electricity, and acid. It can also filter ambient mana from the environment, at least until it reaches capacity. 

Known Elements: Earth, Fire, Thunder, Light, Void, Poison, Acid.

----
===[[Mithril]]===

Extremely lightweight and tough metal. Has a gleaming white-silver appearance, and doesn't age like other metals.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/04/26/7-19/ Chapter 7.19]</ref> Alloys gain a green tinge over thousands of years.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/07/30/interlude-mundanity-and-memorials/ Interlude - Mundanity and Memorials]</ref> It is conductive to electricity. 

Because of its lightness, it's good for lightweight armor, but bad for weapons as it will have no weight behind its blows. Thus, a composite metal is preferable. While stronger than steel, it is also more malleable and needs to be cut with a stronger alloy.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/06/12/4-45/ Chapter 4.45]</ref> It requires less heat to smith than titanium.<ref name=":7">[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/06/08/9-44-p/ Chapter 9.44 P]</ref>

----
===''[[Naq-Alrama]]''===

A type of complex steel with a near-unbreakable durability, the ability to hold magic and the innate power to pierce magical enchantments and harm [[Djinni|Djinnis]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/02/26/7-10-k/ Chapter 7.10 K]</ref> The forging process is incredibly complicated, and failure at any step can irreparably ruin the ingot and render it useless. It is completely inflexible, to the point that the entire piece will shatter if enough force is exerted.

----
===Orichalcum===

A purple magical alloy,<ref name=":2" /> between Mithril and Adamantium in rarity.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/04/01/interlude-stories/ Interlude - Stories]</ref> It is stated to not be mined, yet there are veins of orichalcum ore, or a component mineral referred to as such, which resembles and can be mistaken for purple quartz. Crafting it includes pure copper and pure gemstones, as well as a secret mixture and knowledge of gemwork.<ref name=":7" /> Its unique quality is that it collects magic.<ref>{{VERef|10.53 UEG}}</ref>

----
