Special Metals

In this world, there are two special metals, developed not on Earth, but in Heaven, and in Hell. The first, is Blessed Silver, created in Heaven. The second, is Cursed Steel, created in Hell.

Blessed Silver
Blessed Silver is a curious metal, that of course possessing some interesting qualities. First, it never appears in ingots, as other metals do. It is found in spheres, and in its raw form, is a highly reflective metal. Perhaps its most interesting quality, is that upon contact with a being with a Demonic soul, it burns them. This means that it is highly effective against Demons and their kin. It is said that this metal first came to Earth carried by Forsaken who left Heaven of their own choice.

Cursed Steel
The counterpart to Blessed Silver, is Cursed Steel. This metal was forged in Hell, and is deadly to Angelic species, in that it burns them on contact. In its raw form, it looks quite similar to coal, but any that can sense its dark power knows that it is no mundane Earth rock. It is said that this metal first came to Earth when Demons brought it here through portals, as a weapon against the Angels.

Mana Steel
An alloy of Blessed Silver and Cursed Steel, this metal is even rarer than either. The secret to manufacturing it has been lost for thousands of years, so the only place that it can be found anymore is in ancient relics. No new technology contains this metal.

While this metal has lost the ability to burn Angels or Demons, it does have the unique property of absorbing and nullifying magical energy. It has been found, that with some augmentation, it can be re-engineered to instead expel this energy back at its source.
