Argentium

Argentium is a fairly common metal found throughout Aenoth, and the worlds beyond. It can prove infuriatingly difficult to find, however, often being mistaken for common silver or palladium.

Physical Features
Argentium is a brilliant silver in color, more so than even silver itself. It rarely has natural sharp edges; it's usually rounded in shape. It is quite dense, and not often used for ranged weaponry. The surface of the metal possesses a bewitching, almost supernatural, gleam.

Argentium is highly durable; for this reason, among others, it is highly sought after by artificers and arcane blacksmiths.

Aetheric Properties
Argentium is known to be as debilitating to shadowspawn as iron is to the fae. Furthermore, it takes most enchantments exceedingly easily.

It's believed that the base elemental structure of Argentium is strongly aligned with the metaphysical properties of aether itself, and therefore aether can flow through it with ease.
