==Conductivity==
Non-Mana Conductive
Metals that are Non-Mana conductive cannot channel mana and perform poorly when both moving mana and blocking spells. The only way to improve these traits is by adding spells onto the material that are temporary or by using runic magic enchantment. However, these metals are generally stronger and more suitable for physical combat and defense.
Mana Conductive
Metals that are Mana Conductive can be used to channel magical spells without need for enchantment or any improvements. Magical technology normally uses Mana Conductive metals due to ease of production and needing less magic for construction. Staves, Wands, and other weapons are wise to make with these metals as they can be more easily augmented with magic.
