Mithril
Properties
Material Characteristics
Incredibly light and strong due to microscopic enchantments.

Origin & Source
Synthetic material. Created by the Swarren through microscopic enchantments inscribed inside of a piece of silver as it cools in a mold.
History & Usage
Everyday use
Used primarily for high-strength applications and for weaponry and armor. Usage was restricted by cost of production.
Cultural Significance and Usage
Items made from Mithril are today considered extremely valuable. Such an item is likely to be in the possession of a royal figure as either crown jewels or the equipment of a royal champion.
Refinement
Requires incredibly fine-scale micro-inscriptions in the volume of molten silver to produce Mithril as it cools.
Reusability & Recycling
Mithril is not recycled because unless Mithril is deformed or melted in an anti-magic field where its enchantments are degraded, Mithril is nearly indestructible.
Distribution
Trade & Market
Exotic luxury material and strategic resource.
