Mercurial Crafter
Creations of alchemists can seem restrictive and clunky to
some adn they turn to a different crafting material they
affectionately refer to as "auriluis". This incredibly flexible
material can be shaped from liquid to solid and back again
allowing it to form whatever the artificer requires or
imagines. The creation method is a closely guarded secret
but there are rumors that it is crafted from the blood of it's
creator and a potent mixture of metals and reagents.
