Mercury

[MrPunchers]

Allow us to distill Mercury from Cinnabar. This would be done by grinding it in into a fine powder and roasting it for it to condense, since the oxygen in the air reacts with the Sulfur in Cinnabar, creating Sulfur Dioxide and allowing the Mercury to vaporize and condense. After this the Mercury can condense into it's liquid form by itself through a vent, since it's boiling point is much lower than the other particulate released and it's density is much higher, it can pool by itself. Uses for mercury would include Barometers (for seasons and weather), drinking (reduces living satiation), weights, and creating other compounds. Also inb4 "thy didnt hav it hur dur" it was used by egyptians as a cosmetic and funnily enough, a medicine, maybe it could heal Warts?

Living satiation

If poo mechanics get implemented, metallic mercury could be used to cure Constipation wounds

It would let you craft subscription hats but in return your character would slowly go insane and lose stats.

alchemy and metallurgy, new jewelry and potions, plus prob few work stations lol +1

We just in general need better metal works, sticking a relatively small rock in a furnace and getting a WHOLE BAR of metal is autism. Not saying it should be complicated just rn it's fucking stupid.

Living satiation ahaha

Quantities of liquid mercury ranging from 90 to 600 grams may have been used in bowls as mirrors for divinatory purposes
make this expensive mirror to change hair?

Mercury was used inside wobbler lures. Its heavy, liquid form made it useful since the lures made an attractive irregular movement when the mercury moved inside the plug
fancy fishing lure

The Fresnel lenses of old lighthouses used to float and rotate in a bath of mercury which acted like a bearing
a new tower with a fire light at top that last a longtime so easy to get fire lits

a process called "carroting" was used in the making of felt hats, Animal skins were rinsed in an orange solution (the term "carroting" arose from this color) of the mercury compound mercuric nitrate, This process separated the fur from the pelt and matted it together. This solution and the vapors it produced were highly toxic The psychological symptoms associated with mercury poisoning inspired the phrase "mad as a hatter"
lets take a momment for how awsome this one is...... fancy hat armor/ double glide except has minus intell (mabye a boost to agi or something cause crazy people are fast? lol)

But only if it causes a -1 con and -1 int wound for each use.

Cinnabar was added for that very purpose, so, yes.

Also, medicine and hatmaking. Awesome.
