Ashlie - Into The Unknown

Guild smiths (or other smiths) can craft with these metals. Rarity increases from Steel to Yirixium.

Steel:
[Common] — Most common metal; iron ore is abundant everywhere.

Scaridium:
[Rare] — Red ore (also called blood iron or flow metal) found near iron veins.

• Scaridinite (Scaridium steel alloy / 20-60% Scaridium) — Excellent for channeling magic. Just as heavy as steel.
• Scarlunium (50% aluminum + 50% Scaridium) — Good for casting, great for sustained casting wands (mages).

Myrgalite:
[Rare] — Shiny black ore (black luster steel) found near zinc.

• Myrite - (after smelting Myrgalite) is tougher and stronger than steel but same weight, non-corrosive, premium for weapons and armor. Just as heavy as steel. Does NOT alloy with known metals (Can be runed but less affective.)

Metrille:
[Very Rare] — Lightweight metal (35% the weight of steel); commonly used for armor due to its low weight and high durability. Good in rune enchantments. Found near beryl.

Yirixium:
[Ultra Rare] — Silvery ore with a pale rainbow undertone. Self-healing properties (needs Phoenix ash when forging to fully bring out it's self-healing; exceptional for armor and weapons (magical or mundane). Found near Metrille deposits.
