Scorched Metal

Scorched Metal is a type of metal developed and perfected by Otano while he worked with Kumari in Murk City. Scorched Metal is the product of smelting certain metals using Scorch to heat the metal and imbue it with anti-magic properties. Once the metal has been smelted, the Scorched Metal can be shaped into armor or other forms of metal work. Otano has perfected the methods of creating armor of all kinds, weapons, and bindings. Otano began distributing Scorched Metal armor, weapons, and bindings to Metisians and other non-Muses around Murk City in order to give them a fighting chance against the various muses and gangs that terrorize the city. Anyone who is wearing Scorched armor will have some protection against magic attacks. Scorched Metal weapons have the capacity to extinguish certain magical attacks and if used directly against Muses, it can hamper their magical abilities or remove the powers all together. Scorched Metal bindings were provided to the Murk City Guard and are used to restrain and hamper dangerous Muse criminals. if they are wrapped and bound by the chains, they are unable to use magic. Otano had originally taught Metisians on a small scale to craft small Scorched Metal chains but since attending to murk City, Otano expanded his craft and recruited more people, with Elan's help, to create smiths to mass produce the armor. Kumari approved this project and even assisted with transporting the armor off of Murk City in order to bring in supplies and currency into the Murk City economy. With the dawn of the age of Scorched Metal, the dynamic between Muses and non-Muses began to change across the Realms Now that non-Muses had a means of defending themselves (and arming themselves against Muses) and even had the capacity to take away a Muse's powers, there began an age that fluctuated between mutual respect and tense interactions. Kumari worked to try and quell these tensions but many blamed her for allowing the power dynamic between the Muses and non-Muses to shift. Type Metal
