Argentum Vivum

Post by pedorlee »

While I translate the big text... Kaios, Ill need you xD

Argentum Vivum, also called Quick Silver, has been minned in its liquid form along centuries in different countries.
Its uses where "medical" and some atributted to it some "magical" powers.
Since its toxic qualities doesnt have a "reflection" in the hearthlands, as illnes or venoms does't exist, it could be applied as something in the range of dryads and trolls: something esoteric.

Or it could be used to craft ornaments with a bit of imagination.

I added cinnabar with this future purpose in mind.

Mercy is also possibly useful in extracting silver and gold from ore, though it does have negative affects. Mercury was used in hat making a lot as well, why the Mad hatter went mad...

Just adding this, since using it to help in those areas, maby with a permanent psy/wisdon debuffs (small chance to get each time its used). This would add many dimensions into the game.
