I love this! In my world of Alagossia, this is something I briefly pondered as I was writing chapter 4. There are such minerals, stones, metals, and other elements that exist on Alagossia, just different from Earth. I mean that is the goal, since Alagossia and Earth are starkly different in many ways, though share a few similarities in other ways. I haven’t thought about it much! Because honestly I try not to focus on world-building too much while I am trying to focus on writing the story. One thing at a time. Yet I love magical minerals, stone, metals, and elements used for spell casting, healing, technology, and more ways to use such things. Two questions for you all, you don’t have to do both, just one or the other. 1. Do you have any such things in your fictional world? 2. Are there any metals, elements, stones, and other minerals that you would like to see in fantasy more? This is probably a challenging question for many. @Akje @JojoDahlia @NatilladeCoco @NotARussianBot @alenatenjo @TheTigerWriter @SecretDurham @MatthewJH @NatureLover40 @48lexR Thoughts and feelings? Any discussions? ---

Nope, there’s no magic in my book, and it takes place on a duplicate Earth. ¯\_(ﭢ)\_/¯ > [@Qualeshia12](#): > > Are there any metals, elements, stones, and other minerals that you would like to see in fantasy more? That could be a really interesting plot point in fantasy novels, but I can’t think of any examples right now. Sounds like something that would work well in an anime series too. ---

A lot of my stories have something like this. As for seeing more in fantasy…I’m actually not too sure of specific ones. Probably any that aren’t shown too much. ---

_Technically_ there are no magical stones in Meiste. That being said, since Meiste itself is held together by magic, I argue that by technicality that makes Meiste itself a magical stone. In New Katla Khi (not Meiste) there is a mine with a magical crystal that was harvested by the _Khi_ people (since they had a physiological capacity for magic. Long story.) The Siren’s Amulet is a magical gemstone that grants the wearer teleportation abilities (same universe as New Katla Khi.) ---

The only magic my stories have is advanced science and metallurgy. One example is Karen’s mercenaries now wear full-body plate armour that doesn’t restrict or impede their movements or reflexes, has a modest level of environmental and NBC protection, and cannot be pierced by any round smaller than a .338 Lapua Magnum. I originally pinched the armour idea from the anime _Jin-Roh_, but I now think it’s more a mix of _Jin-Roh’s_ Panzer Suit and _Halo’s_ (un-powered) Mjolnir Spartan armour. Oh, the armour is also ‘light’ enough for six armoured mercenaries to be carried in a modified (advance prototype) Mi-24E Hind. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/IJ4kCW9UpQk/hqdefault.jpg "JIN ROH 4K HDR Incident in the Sewers and Hunting Public Security") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ4kCW9UpQk) [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/5HQYeIlrDvI/hqdefault.jpg "Halo The Series | Master Chief Vs. Silver Team (S1, E8) | Paramount+") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HQYeIlrDvI) In my current story, Freyja’s biology, physiology, and internal cybernetics are advanced enough to be considered magic. Dov, a former Commando, is often reminded by experience and observations that Freyja is both a shy, naive, perpetually curious,and overdeveloped 16yo\* girl, and his physical equal if not superior (once trained). \*Freyja doesn’t have a precise age, and she ages at 1/4 the normal rate, but she looks sixteen. So it’s a case of close enough is good enough. ---

I rarely think about making anything up for that because we have such a depth of stone on this planet and it’s most all untapped. ---

Now, named or specific objects are different. I have a pearlesque ring that’s spiderlike and bound into it’s wearer’s flesh made from the shells of eggs that either she laid or her own birth-shell, and it’s to protect her from harm. It doesn’t have a name because it’s tailor-made to her, not a coveted piece in every place. And it was put on her in a trap-like manner. ---

I’ve got a medal pendant with a half-grown duck trying to eat grapes off the vine. It’s meant to represent a half-formed relationship. A jewel-tone egg that a god shoves in through his forehead and merges with a jeweled tear of another god, creating their offspring. The tears of that goddess are memories. ---

Just some of the usual tropes… jewels with power/s, imbued artefacts, legendary swords and stuff… SD ---
