Manaverse Periodic Table

The Manaverse Periodic Table is an extension to the "standard" Periodic Table. It catalogues chemical elements that exist beyond the realm of physics, with atoms partially or completely sustained by anomalous or metaphysical means, commonly in the form of stray or exotic metaparticles (such as magitrons or aetherons) assuming or replacing the function of atomic particles. As a result, these elements often possess metaphysical properties that are independent from their chemical properties, but still behave like ordinary matter in most circumstances.

Metals

Adamantium

Adamantium (Chemical Symbol: Ad) is a very lightweight, non-brittle transition metal known for its extreme stress resistance. Chemically pure Adamantium has a lustrous, lead-like natural color, and it is only when it is alloyed that it tends to acquire its distinctive green tinge (more particularly, with bronze). Second to Mythril, Adamantium possesses a high Mana retention rate, although with a slightly lower degree of Magic Preservation, or rather, the tendency of the material to preserve effects of Magic existing within it. However, it is significantly less common as a material: it is very difficult to extract and work with pure Adamantium due to its physical properties, requiring the use of dissolution mining and alloying to make most effective use of. It is nonetheless extremely versatile, having found predominant use in the planet of Ferona in the form of weapons and armor (both magically and non-magically augmented), as a construction material, or even robotics.

Adamantium is rare in the Manaverse, with Ferona possessing the largest concentration of natural Adamantium among known terrestrial worlds. It is frequently found coalescing in medium to large deposits inside mountains.

Laconia

Laconia (Chemical Symbol: Lc) is a magically-inert transition metal. In its purest form, it indiscriminately rejects nearly all Magical Functions directly or indirectly applied to it, and as such, it is often classified as a "metaphysically-noble" substance. It is a highly-valuable asset for magitech constructs and weaponry, as it can be used to conduct Mana or a Spell through a system with absolutely no loss of efficiency, or to create Laconia-alloyed weaponry with high resistance to Magic. The color of Laconia, as well as its degree of "nobleness" towards Magic, depends on the degree of refinement it has been subject to, with clarity increasing proportionally to its quality, or "grade". On an unrefined state, Laconia is an ashen metal with little reflectiveness, while Laconia of the highest grade possesses a uniquely white and lustrous color.

Laconia is very rare in the known Manaverse, but is known to occur prominently in Phantasia. Other terrestrial worlds often contain negligible amounts of the element, if not entirely lacking it.

Mythril

Mythril (Chemical Symbol: My) is a lightweight but strong transition metal. Mythril is naturally silver with a blue tint or gleam, though it can easily be dyed into vibrant and metallic colors, most commonly seen with the oily pigments secreted by the roots of dragonscale. Mythril has a particularly high Mana retention rate, capable of assimilating it with comparatively minimal loss, as well as a high degree of Magic Preservation. This makes Mythril a very efficient and preferred target to Enchantment, or as an external Mana Pool by means of "charging" it with Mana (although Crystallized Mana of moderate quality or higher may be more effective than a sample of Mythril of the same weight, in terms of Mana storage). It should be noted however that this retention is not necessarily synonymous to resistance, as Mythril does not avoid the physical or metaphysical consequences of Manalistic Magic or Mana-based techniques.

Mythril is malleable and ductile, but still sufficiently hard to be purposed as high-quality armor, particularly when alloyed. Other properties include resistance to superficial corrosion (tarnishing), a melting point of roughly 1700°C, and conductibility on par with, but slightly less, than copper.

It is primarily found in ore veins, and although a moderately rare element in terms of mining, it notably occurs naturally in the scales of Euthoran dragons, as well as some species of Malomorphs in Phantasia.

Orichalcum

Orichalcum (Chemical Symbol: Or) is a rather heavy, exceptionally hard transition metal. Orichalcum occurs in a variety of colors ranging from bronze- to gold-like, although chemically pure Orichalcum is known to possess a distinct amber hue that is vaguely reminiscent of gold. When tarnished, it acquires a dark green hue. It has a very rigid structural integrity, with low malleability and ductility contributing to its hardness and tensile strength, although it does not possess a particularly high toughness against fracture: as a result, Orichalcum is fairly brittle in the same manner diamond is. Due to this, it is uncommon for Orichalcum to worked manually—instead, it is considerably more popular as a material for Alchemy.

Orichalcum is especially heat-resistant, with a melting point of roughly 2480°C, and is known to possess an inherent Elemental Resistance against the Fire Element. It is moderately rare, and often considered to be the "sister metal" to Mythril, as it is frequently found in the same ore veins as Mythril is. As with Mythril, it occurs naturally in the scales of some creatures, particularly the Euthoran Dragon species of Firedrakes and Pyrespines, in sufficient concentrations to allow these creatures to withstand the heat of lava.

It is possible to simulate Orichalcum with certain alloys of bronze, however these imitations lack the Fire-Elemental resistance (as well as the high melting point) that true Orichalcum does.

Zeraphium

Zeraphium (Chemical Symbol: Ze) is a hypermetal. It is a highly-condensed substance due to its compressed atomic structure, giving it an exceptionally high density. [...]

Metalloids

Tephralite

Tephralite (Chemical Symbol: Tp) is a deep, glassy blue metalloid. It has the notable anomalous property of disregarding the density of water during motion; that is, Tephralite moves through water while experiencing the same level of resistance as if it was unsubmerged. However, Tephralite corrodes rapidly and aggressively while not submerged in water, with the material turning bright orange and dark brown as it undergoes a chemical reaction not unlike the process of burning.

The most reliable source of Tephralite are arguably creatures that synthesize it naturally (e.g. Euthoran Sélrakh), although it is also occasionally found forming in coral-like growths in oceanic trenches.
