Khâznium

“The Gear Metal”

-(Khaz-ne-um)-

 

⚙︎⸻⸻⸻✯⸻⸻⸻ ⚙︎

 

 

This common alloy is known to the artificers and tinkerers as “Khâznium” The perfect metal for making creations of their trades. It consists of Daemonsteel, Aurum, Black Ferrum and Blackstone. Its weight is heavy due to its intended purpose. Its colour is a dark black with veins of aurum that trace through it. All have access to forge with Khâznium and all can refine it, but note that it is primarily used for Animatii creations due to its armoured toughness.

 

When freshly forged, it emits a low hum, as if remembering the heat that gave its form. In the hands of a skilled artificer this metal is best optimised for its mass toughness. In the Khâzmicron Culture, the people believe that this precious alloy was a gift bestowed upon them from their deity Tela’Zirous and worship the alloy and its properties and ability to perform well for their creations.

 

Khâznium is super strong and is a very tough alloy but due to its density it is very hard to sharpen most weapons whilst being strong will not be sharpe, one's best bet is to forge a blunt weapon from it.

Properties & Uses

Its main purpose is for forging and crafting prosthetic limbs and clockwork like pets and servants. But some have found other means for it such as armour fitted to descendants and weapon smithing.

 

This super firm and tough alloy is strong and works best for automations, pets and any other geared Animatii creation that requires a hard cased shell or armour

 

This alloy has high immunity to heat and fire.

 

This alloy works best for Animatii creations, blunt weapons, shields and armour due to the alloys tough, dense, natural armour

Weaknesses

Khâznium’s density comes from the combination of Daemonsteel, Aurum, Black Ferrum, and Blackstone, it's incredibly strong at normal temperatures  but its very density is also its undoing in extreme cold. The alloy becomes brittle when under immense coldness and if struck with a strong impact it will cause it to splinter and cracks to spread through it like shattered glass.

 

Freezing conditions, frost magic, alchemical chill agents, or severe winter storms can all bring Khâznium to this brittle state. While not instantaneously destructive, cold exposure followed by a strong strike can severely damage this alloy.

 

Mechanical Effects:

 

Cold Exposure: 3 emotes of direct cold magic/alchemy or 2 emotes of full immersion in naturally frigid environments like being submerged in bleak icy water, severe blizzards, etc..

 

Brittle Phase: For the next 3 emotes, any well placed strike to the alloy from any other alloy stronger than Daemonsteel will damage this alloy slowly causing cracks and chips on the alloy if directly hit with [3] direct emotes the alloy will begin to shatter.

 

Animatii Risk: Moving parts like gears, joints etc will begin to seize up, requiring 2 emotes of breaking the coldness away, before functional use resumes.

 

Armour Risk: Plates may fracture or chip, leaving weak points that persist until repaired.

 

Weapon Risk: The striking face may chip, warp, or entirely shear off with repeated blows.

Forging

This alloy shares the same properties and forging properties as daemon steel as it holds the majority percentage to forge but once imbued with the others it becomes very strong and forms a natural dense and heavy armour. To work with this alloy the smith must smelt it bringing it to a glowing amber hue before they can begin to forge anything from it, then the alloy can be worked with effectively. Engraving can be done on this alloy but would take a skilled craftsman with the proper skills and tools to complete due to the stone that resides in it. If used for automations or any other clockwork/stone creation, the metal must be forged into the correct shape that the smith wishes to use it for, i.e. plating or gears etc.

Refining

To make this alloy the smith must melt this combination of metals and the stone, bringing them all to a melting point for the process to work effectively 50% Daemonsteel, 20% Aurum, 20% Black Ferrum and 10% Molten Black Stone. Can be forged in around [5] emotes.

[1] Preparing forge and waiting for it to be hotter enough

[2] Adding the Daemonsteel into a crucible

[3] Adding the Aurum into the crucible

[4] Adding the Black Ferrum into the crucible

[5] Waiting until all metals are melted together and then pouring the newly formed alloy into a mold whether that be an ingot or a plate etc. allow it to cool down and then it can be worked with or stored.

Red Lines

• Khâznium when forged as a larger piece of armour, or for any other creation that isn't a weapon. It has a dense and strong form and is rather durable, but is still penetrable. 
• If made as a weapon or normal sized armour, it is still strong and bares double the strength of Daemonsteel
• The Aurum and Black Ferrum that resides in this alloy has no properties that pure aurum and pure Black Ferrum holds, due to its low quantity in the alloy
• Khâznium is mostly made for other intended things such as Automations, Pets, Servants, Limbs and any other Animatii creations
• Can be made into an ingot and is player approved
• This item doesn't require an ST signature
• Khâznium is common knowledge and all can forge it
• This alloy can be treated with Alchemical Potions and Herbs
• This alloy can only be enchanted via Blood Magic Runes and can not be enchanted with Voidal enchantments
• Can not be treated with Iceforging

OOC Purpose

I want to make really cool things, items, automations and so forth. Mainly made for adding more depth and flavour to the above roleplay types especially for custom MArt.

This lore has been denied.

This material seems to pick and draw from properties of many different materials to create a 'supermetal' of sorts that remains open to anyone- sadly, this isn't something ST is looking to implement as of right now.
