Jmorvi
Jmorvi is the convocation of metal, it stands between fire and earth, and deals with all minerals, but especially metals.
Their element is the solid heart of the world iron. Most Jmorvi mages tend to be artificers: their magic tends to run in a slower vein than that of other Shek-Pvar. The element and its manipulators are powerful and unyielding, but sometimes brittle, insensitive, brutal, and shallow.
Jmorvi mages distrust the spiritual believing the soul of humanity to be unpredictable and unreliable, they prefer the sureness and solidity of cold, hard steel.
Jmorvi use the following special definitions:
- Wholly Metallic: object at least 90t% metal,
- Mostly Metallic: object at least 50% metal,
- Partly Metallic: object at least 20% metal.
The Ordering of Metals
For the proper casting of some Jmorvi spells, it is useful to know which of two or more metals is heavier (denser), Kethrian alchemists and artificers have devised several Methods for determining relative weight, but most use specific gravity which they can easily measure with a scale and a bucket of water.
The following metals are known to Lythian alchemists and artificers:
