Lead & Zinc

Lead is soft & can mold into any shape you desire. Its symbol is Pb & is in the carbon group. Lead is fairly easy to alter with magic because it likely has magical energy. Its energy is the proper amount of magic to transition gold. Lead is known for its sturdiness & an unwillingness to transform. Zinc is a blue-white color & its symbol is Zn. In German, it translates to zinke or spelter. Paracelsus named this metal & zinc is very weak & inexpensive. This metal is found in alloy, such as brass (zinc & copper). Zinc Oxide is ZnO & is used for paints & skin creams. Having too much zinc can cause a lack of energy & a lack of copper.

Nickel & Iron

Nickel is silver-white with gold tint color & its symbol is Ni. This metal is unaffected by decay because of its slow oxidation. It is one of the four metals that can be magnetic (iron, cobalt, gadolinium, & nickel). Nickel was used to create Syrian bronzes & Chinese coins. Axel Fredrik Cronstedt grouped nickel as an element & uncovered scheelite, as well as tungsten. Iron is silver-gray in color & its symbol is Fe. This metal is magnetic & is the most wide spread element on Earth. It oxidizes when put together with oxygen & water (rust). Rust flakes off to reveal natural iron. This metal is also in our bodies as iron-proteins. Iron metal can burn & is deemed masculine, hence the symbol for iron.
