Bronze
Overview[edit]
Bronze is the archetypal alloy of Copper and Tin and is regarded throughout the Continuum Universes as the Metal of Beginnings — the first forged substance that allowed civilization to evolve beyond survival.
Where copper represents emotional vitality and tin represents structured craft, Bronze is unity made solid: the harmony between will and wisdom.
Properties[edit]
Bronze combines the strengths of its parent metals:
- warm, golden-reddish luster
- high corrosion resistance
- exceptional resonance stability
- ideal castability for tools and weapons
- capacity to store low–mid tier enchantments
Bronze naturally resonates at frequencies tied to community, creativity, and shared memory, making it foundational in early magical traditions.
Applications[edit]
Bronze remains central to:
- ritual blades (nonlethal spirit-knives)
- temple bells with harmonizing psionic tone
- beginner spell-staves
- golem joints requiring flexibility
- alchemical vessel plating
- continuity charms
Bronze bells in particular are famed for resonating harmonically with sapient emotional fields.
Cultural Significance[edit]
In most Continuum cultures, Bronze represents:
- community
- craftsmanship
- balanced emotion
- early civilization
- shared purpose
Elvari artisans say: “Bronze is civilization’s first breath.”
