Nickel

Tier: 1

Complexity: 3

Crafting Time: 4

A silver material with a goldish tinge, Nickel is an alchemically active metal that is often referred to as Alchemical Gold due to it's ability to be used as a catalyst and the fact it can make alloys with most metals. In comparison to other metals, it seems to be similar to an Endelrathian metal known as Prahitite.

Surprisingly, it also seems to cause certain individuals to burn in a similar fashion to many Fae. Beware, lest you be affected by this material.
