Aluminum

Aluminum is a naturally occurring chemical element with the symbol Al and atomic number 13. On Aerith, it is a lightweight, silvery-white metal commonly extracted from ores like bauxite found in rocky or magical-rich terrain. Renowned for its strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion, aluminum is a favored material among smiths and artificers for crafting lightweight armor, tools, and intricate machinery. Its reflective surface makes it valuable in alchemical and magical practices, particularly in crafting mirrors, lenses, and energy-dispersing devices. While its refinement requires significant expertise, aluminum’s combination of utility and durability makes it a vital resource for both practical and arcane applications on Aerith.
