Although magic in its modern form stems from the discovery of metal and smithcraft, metal today is an under-utilized modern magical material. Perhaps this reflects ancient taboos on the material and the role of the blacksmith.

Each metal, like each stone or botanical, projects a specific magical energy, although as there are fewer metals than the vast quantities of botanicals or crystals, it’s easier to sum up these powers.

 Brass: protection, love

 Copper: love, healing

 Gold: wealth, vitality

 Lead: domination, binding (the most frequent material for curse tablets)

 Silver: protection, fertility

 Tin: wealth, luck, divination

The most powerful magical metal, however, and among the most magically charged of all materials on Earth, is iron.
