Lead

Lead is a heavy, malleable metal found in Galfin, though it is not highly valued due to its potential danger to health and its commonness. It has a dull grey color and it is relatively easy to find. Alchemists in Galfin may view Lead differently and see potential uses for it in their craft, due to its ability to block and absorb negative energies and magical radiation. In Galfin, lead is often used in creating magical barriers and wards, to protect from malign spirits, curses, and dark magic. Tradespeople and craftsmen might not find much use for it, due to its weight and brittleness. It could be used as a counterweight in some devices or construction. Its potential use in trade is negligible, it's not seen as a valuable commodity.
