M'Bride and me used to go to the Highland Games, and I would dabble with the Caber Toss, and also cast elemental silver in various clan emblems. I did lost wax casting for several years, making rings, pins, pendants and other clan emblems. I very much favor elemental silver -- Argentum -- and thus I tweaked it a bit to be argentus. Never capitalized, please. Silver is so sweetly malleable and easy to work with. Other elements smell hot and bad when you heat them, but not silver. Hot silver smells a little like salt, which is to say a very slight odor, sort of crisp. Cool silver has hardly any smell at all. Other elements have a scent.
