I would also lessen the magic negating effects of iron.
"A few pots" would be a dumb way to negate magic.
However if you make it act like lead shielding to radiation, what you wind up with is that fully covering iron plating is an effective anti-magic suit.
Cheap in materials? Sort of
Cheap in craftsmanship? Not at all.
An iron shield works better to defend against magic, but if you have the dosh lying around you pay an armorer to make you a skin of iron. Just pray that Mr. Wizard isn't a good shot with a crossbow.
Hardened steel bodkin points will punch right through that soft, brittle suit of raw iron.</section>

I like this idea but I'd go with pure copper storing magic as well as gold initially, but losing it over time to corrosion and damage. So it's alloyed into bronze for strength and corrosion resistance at the cost of some efficiency with magic storing.</section>

I would give copper magic warping properties.
Basically how magnetism gets all fucky with copper, turning it to heat energy.
Have pure copper warp and mutate magic effects.
This makes it great for magic experimentation, but highly disruptive to any precise casting.</section>

You're forgetting a few metals and their astrological correspondences.
Tin is associated with Jupiter, the magus.
Lead with Saturn, the reaper.
Uranus, the mystic, with uranium.
Pluto with Zinic
Neptune with Platinum
Iron, being associated with Mars, makes a lot of sense to be anti-magic.
Tin would be the most magical due to its association with Jupiter.
Zinc and Lead would have special connection with death and the harvest.
Platinum with trade, and uranium with mysticism.
The radiation is why mystics are schizos.</section>

I didn't go with total immunity, but a knight in full armor is highly resistant to all forms of magical attack, which was my explanation for why armor would continue to develop into heavier forms when a fucking wizard could just fireball a cavalry wedge. It's a bit like the bullet proofing old armors used to go through - genuinely could stop a ball shot from a certain distance. Not necessarily at point blank and definitely not a fucking cannon ball though.
Ironically I autism'd this not because of any desire for verisimilitude but because the idea of wizards just incinerating hundreds of screaming horses upset me so I wanted a way for barding to legitimately lend them protection
On the flip side, 'natural' organic or semi-organic materials hold and conduct magic extremely well. This includes wood, bone, amber, and crystal. Mages will often have bits of armor or at least bracers made of bone so as to lend them some sort of protection without inhibiting magical ability.<span class="post-quote">

Elves actually have blue blood because theirs contains copper, not iron. Dwarves meanwhile have a comparative surplus of iron in their blood. Dwarven organs act as an extremely efficient filtration system, so they absorb and hold iron better and do not suffer as much from hemochromatosis like humans would. As a result dwarven blood is a deeper, darker red.</section>

Borrowing from this I would put in that Aluminum and Titanium are completely "clear" in terms of magic resilience.
Magic passes right through these two metals as if it was not even there.
So a battlemage that wants some actual armor that isn't gonna fuck up his ability to cast magic is gonna have to commission some titanium from the smeltery, at least 30lbs of it.
It would be strong as all hell, lightweight (to offset the anemic body) but it would be super expensive. You could cast right through an armored gauntlet though no problem.</section>

Copper, Silver, and Gold will conduct and therefore not interfere with magic
Wood, Bone, and Crystal will store magic and thus are used for implements - this is also why magical rings tend to be copper, silver, and gold in the band with some sort of gemstone in the center peice.

because carbon dilutes the iron content
diamonds, pure carbon, are associated with the sun an intensely magical planet
carbon is also an element strongly associated with the magic of life (wood, bone, crystal)
So by mixing carbon with iron to make steel, you're reducing the armor's resistance to magic in order to maximize its resistance to the mundane.</section>

If I recall correctly, meteoric iron naturally has a high nickel content compared with terrestrial iron ore.
And nickel is associated with Mars, and is ferromagnetic like iron.
So it checks out.</section>

this also gives you an actual verisimilitude excuse to have FIGHTY NATION and MAGICKY NATION, as a region with high iron deposits is simply not going to be as magically developed as one without because, at least in the local area, magick is much less effective as a weapon and a tool. So it makes sense that a country with an abundance of iron, bronze, and other materials would rely more heavily and have a greater cultural focus on arms and martial skill.</section>

gold->silver->iron->steel
bulk of the armor is steel to make it viable against weapons
the gold/silver/raw iron trio is coated on the outside to make a magical mirror; if you skipped the raw iron layer, some of the magic would seep through owing to the carbon content of the steel</section>

Hey, do you want armor that is 100% reflective to magic or are you happy with (n<100)%?
Depending on what sort of mage you're going up against, you may be able to skip that raw iron layer.
But if you go up against a strong enough mage, you'll regret not springing for that extra 5 points.</section>

Basically if you have an element in a compound, it'll have completely different physical and chemical properties. For example water behaves nothing like hydrogen or oxygen, despite being made of them. This is true to the point that until the 1600s we weren't even aware how the whole thing functioned, and thought that any type of matter could be transformed into any other type (hence the many many people trying to turn lead into gold). So there is absolutely no reason for the iron in your blood to be antimagic no matter what assumptions we start off with. If we go by a pseudoscientific explanation, then (seeing as how the magic in our blood is in a compound), we must conclude that the magical properties of compounds must also be different from the elements that compose them (since literally every other property is different too). But if we go with a pseudo-mythical explanation, which stems from what people in medieval (or ancient or whatever) time believed, then there is actually no iron in your blood, to begin with, hence no antimagic.

Water is exactly like hydrogen AND oxygen.
Hydrogen is the first element, the source.
Oxygen is what people need in order to respite.
Water is the source from which life sprang (H), and is necessary for the continuation of life (O).

Bloodletting is a frequent aspect of magical rituals.
This is largely chalked up to the correspondence factor of blood being associated with life energy, which would key in more with the oxygen contained in one's blood than the irion.
However, by removing iron from the body, one would make themselves more receptive to magic entering their body.

The principle of gender refers to the process by which one enGENDERs the next GENERation. When someone gets surgery as part of the mtf/ftm bit, they're castrating themselves, making it so that they're no longer masculine nor feminine. They're neutered and cannot bring in a new generation.
They aren't making up new magic, they're just delusional about the consequences of their actions.</section>

Conjured effects and creations are out so the wizard cant just shapeshift you with a glance or strike you with lightning, so they have to get creative.

<section>RE: Hurling a boulder at someone in plate -
When the boulder makes contact with the anti magical field, the propelling force vanishes. At that point the boulder is carried by Inertia. Obviously this is still a big issue, since half a second of deaccel isn't going to slow down a boulder the size of a minivan moving at 50mph. But it is something.</section>

Mages gotta study, and its been shown historically that when humans have access to birth control they use it constantly.
Raising kids gets in the way of studying MAGIC.
Mages would probably accidentally lower their own population growth.

I get where you're coming from, but if we accept the given premise there are some natural consequences.
Perhaps not necessarily as flanderized as FIGHTY NATION v MAGEY NATION, but those are essentially the lines drawn. There are parallels to be drawn historically between crude iron wielding barbarians and the more refined bronze civilizations.</section>

you're right in that it isn't very original, it has it's roots in renaissance "high magic" theory, and at least some of it has carried over to D&D (spell failure).
still, compared to contemporaneous generic medieval fantasy, it's a big change.</section>

Depends.
If your talking about white collar crime then its probably present in both major factions, and will attract a lot of misfits from varrying backgrounds.
Its probably not going to be a 3rd major power in the setting just shit happening in the back ground with no real goals besides wealth.</section>

Well, yeah.
That's sorta what's implied even with the flanderized interpretation. Iron and magic are equally baked into the setting, because they play off one another like yin & yang. Or, returning to the initial correspondences from the beginning of the thread, like Venus and Mars (copper and iron). Both of which correspond to the dichotomy between masculine and feminine.
And, keeping with the hermetic principles<span class="post-quote"> <a class="post-backlink" href="#71014501">>>71014501</a></span>
There's the principle of polarity. Just as there is no hard distinct boundary between hot and cold, each being relative to the other, the distinction between fighty and magey are also relative. Again previously alluded to with the whole alchemy as magic/alchemy as science bit.</section>

Well, it'd likely just be... Magic focusing on self-buffs and healing rather than external attacks, and using martial prowess supplemented by the buffs. Probably be armor that was gold-plated on the inside or some such (or even silver plated, because maybe casting it out and then reflecting it back is more potent for reasons).</section>

But since this is an inherently high magic paradigm, what constitutes a "trace amount" isn't going to be set in stone. The amount of iron in a human in already small, but still large enough that an anemia or bloodletting can make someone more receptive to magic. It's less about the hard logic of a thing's proportions and the poetry of an act/substance.</section>

Yeah but I am a LIVE nerd. Because I know when there is too much iron around, and now when to play it tricky like.
Like summoning a Tiger. Not an Abyssal Tiger, or a Celestial Tiger. Just a plane tiger, from the jungles of this world. Why? So it isn't hurt just by standing on iron, and a single poke from an iron spear head doesn't dismiss it just piss it off.</section>

Right?
He'd be better off capturing a real tiger from the jungle, slapping bronze armor on it, and sending that thing into the enemy lines.
1) it's a fucking tiger
2) the bronze would allow you to use it to indirectly cast spells

Once it's summoned it's here, since it's a normal mortal tiger, the iron spear will just piss it off. You may have broken the Mage's binding on the tiger, binding it's soul to his will, but now you have a pissed off man eating tiger wanting to devour your peasant ass because you pissed it off.
Had it been a celestial tiger, it's body would have been made of magic, and the spear would have pieced though it's body like butter, easily sending it back to the heavens it came from, like all those beasts summoned by the novice mages because they were "stronger"</section>

I guess if you were quick enough thinking to stab it a lot before it killed you then sure, it goes from being a tiger to a tiger corpse, and in a way not here but there is still a tiger corpse there. That won't vanish just because you stabbed it with iron. The summoning spell ended the second the tiger appeared. That's when the binding spell took over.</section>

That's still summoning.
I reach out into the web of life, find the creature I am looking for, and pull it to me in an instant (Summoning) then I bind it's will to me (Binding) and when I'm done with it I send it back to where I got it from (Banishing)

If you try to do this fast I suppose you would burn though a lot of reagents. You see I do this in preparation as a ritual lasting just over an hour. A lot less taxing on resources both personal mystical reserves and raw ingredients. Plus since I'm not permenantly summoning a magical creature just summoning a mortal one that also is a savings meaning I don't have to work as hide to bind, and upkeep is as simple as giving them food, shelter, clean fodder, and clean water.</section>

So... Paladins? Also interesting how paladins and clerics always use heavy armor bit their magic is also always divine. Does that mean that divine/light magic is THE exception that proves the rule? Given how Light is mostly depicted as healing and cleansing we could theorize how it's abjuratic in nature and why wizards would avoid using it, or else they might lose their stored/inherent magic.</section>

Makes sense.
Copper is associated with Venus/Ishtar, who is well known for being a fickle bitch.
That also explains why it's common practice to alloy copper with tin to make bronze. Just a little bit of influence from Jupiter/Marduk is able to keep her in line without sacrificing potency too much.</section>

So copper works as a magical amplifier, thong it’s effects are wildly unpredictable and Tin works as a magic stabilizer, being used to fine tune magical items
Together they result in Bronze, an alloy that amplifies spellcasting without much interference. This could mean that Bronze clad casters would refrain from using very complicated spells to avoid the interference their armour would cause, but their more simple spells would be very powerful</section>

Gold would be like bronze, but with stronger magical boosting and no magical interference.
Though many high level mage would still use gold-tin alloy staffs and wands, especially during research, due to the high level of precision this material would offer</section>

<section>speaking of alloys
Platinum & gold is supposed to be pretty durable, and both metals have the magical correspondence to be useful to wizards
Electrum (gold & silver) would be another useful alloy for mages, and one which has historical precedence for the bronze age
What about brass? The copper has the well tred magical qualities, but what about the zinc? Zinc has an association with Pluto, and hence the underworld. Brass itself is used for ornamentation and musical instruments... maybe a bonus to sonic magic?</section>

Gold and platinum I envision as metals with pretty similar functions (risk-less magical enhancing), but maybe they could relate to different aspects of magic and thus their alloy would represent the empowerment of all magic
As silver has been established as a magical mirror, maybe a gold-silver alloy would result in weird interactions due to the amplification and reflection of magic. Maybe it results in an unstable bomb alloy, which when imputed with magical power keeps reflecting it and amplifying it internally until it breaks and releases all power
Zinc could be a necromantic Metal, and when mixed with copper it results in undead spawning and communications with the dead. Maybe brass could then be used in necromantic rituals through instruments</section>

That makes sense; electrum was historically used for coinage, which you'd want to be magical and to be difficult to fuck around with
Alnico (Aluminum, Nickel & Cobalt) might be another metal useful to martials. It's used to make permanent magnets, and could perhaps be used to charge iron armor with a more robust anti-magic quality.
Nickel has already been established as having anti-magical properities, with its connection to meteoric iron, but what about raw cobalt? Cobalt shares an etymological root with kobold, produces arsenic when smelted, and can be used as a blue pigment.</section>

The principle of gender refers to the process by which one enGENDERs the next GENERation.
Gender specifically relates to procreation.
There is naturally overlap with the principle of polarity. Every man has a certain feminine aspect to himself, and every woman a masculine element. The yinyang is a good symbol for this. But, no matter how feminine a man is, he still plays the masculine role in regards to procreation. Even well-muscled tomboys get pregnant.
I'd recommend reading The Kybalion for a more indepth discussion of hermetic principles. It's public domain, and therefore widely available. It's short enough that you can finish the audio version in one painting session, if you're into the wargamming aspect of /tg/

You don't need to go balls deep into contemporary occultism. Crowley, for example, isn't the most accessible author. But the entry level texts are definitely worth a read. They're great inspiration for lore building, and can help you bring greater verisimilitude to your caster characters.

You're welcome.
Another text worth considering is Illuminatus!
It's part of the Discordian current, so it at once feels a bit dated (due to the 70s counter culture influence) and incredibly relevant (due to the eristic nature of Internet culture). The best part is that, unlike some of the dryer texts, Illuminatus is a very entertaining read. The audio book version is well done. The narrator brings that special paranoid-schizophrenic tone to the work that really sets the performance alight.</section>

This kind of problem can be easilly worked around (and simplified for the players benefit) by simply saying that this kind of change from compounds is how physics works, and magic is NOT physics. Magic interacting with the individual atoms instead of the combined whole is hardly a stretch compared to literally every other physics breaking thing it does because it's literally magic.</section>
