Chromium

Tier: 1

Complexity: 4

Crafting Time: 2

A lustrous, silvery metal, Chromium is both incredibly hard and brittle, but also incredibly resistant to corrosion. It is often used to create corrosion-resistant steels. It is so lustrous that it can be used to reflect enough of an image to be used as a mirror.
