you should also state that metals like:
Copper
Tin
-Bronze
Coal
Iron
-Steel
Mithril
Adamantium
Gold
Silver
are the most used metals in RPGs and MMO\'s so they really shouldn\'t be stated here.

*cough* now for my metal:
Material Name: Zurack (zur-hak)
Description: Yellow-Gold crystals that grow in a chaotic fashion (when found) that are 3-sided. A central peice of Zurack spawns more Zurack around it, in its chaotic net. When you mine it and you find a small protion of it, you should follow the seam ALWAYS to the end, because at the end is the original peice. However, no one has ever reached that original peice as the seams seem to begin from the time of creation; seams can last thousands of years and never get any bigger. Professional miners of the metal go insane, as the seam just seems to keep going and never getting any bigger.
Rarity: Common, though not i[n] great amount. Gets dropped by some monsters.
Type: Pure.
Usefulness: If consumed in any amount the creature whom eats it will die in 24 hours, however, durring that time he does not feel pain. If made into a armor it will give a generous boost to one\'s health, strength, and stamina. in a properly constructed peice of armor it will block all pain from that portion of the body. however, over use can cause dependancy problems and instantanious fatality should the player wear and then remove the suit after 2 days (real-time) Used in a weapon it will not let the wound inflicted close for some time; though magic negates the bleeding a scar is still there metally. the next and more powerful blow will cause more trauma until it becomes lethal.

Basically a fighter\'s best armor/weapon for times when strength and power are needed. however, if the player wears it for too long he will \"need\" it later on like a addiction. eventually the character must wear it continuously else die. however, a NPC mage is able to cure you but at the cost of the armor and a large amount of moolah.

takes a LONG time (16 real-time hours) to gather enough Zurack to make even a short sword; chain mail will cost you a lot of cash. Zurack could also be used in a quest... The NPC mage that\'ll cure you if you get the Zurack addiction will need some Zurack from you and some time (4-8 game hours depending on how much you gave him) and then will be able to cure you. the first time is free, though, the next time it\'ll hurt your wallet, BAD.

[selling Zurack within many cities walls are considered a crime, so sell it outside the walls or go somewhere else! monsters who are also addicted will gladly kill you to knaw or eat on your beutiful Zurack armor or peices...]
