>Plumbum Dulce>-Heat to melt: Twenty pund of coal to a pund in twenty minutes. Three pund less than Plumbum Nigrum[1], three pund more than Plumbum Candidum[2].>-Properties: Like all Plumbum, pliant and easy to smelt. Insufficient hardiness and lightweightedness to utilize as arms or armor. The inherent sweetness has lead to it being quickly used in foods. Through trial and error, it has additionally found use in inks and dyes, allowing them to dry faster. A scatterbrained apprentice spilled Spelter[3] into a solution of it once, and the result was a strange crystalline tree. More study may be needed.>-Effects: Svartalfar smelters enjoy a paler, near-alabaster countenance, which has lead to some of our women to seek its use as a cosmetic by frequenting the forges. Shadows seem to enjoy the fumes even moreso, citing a prickling in their bodies that makes them tougher, if slower. One Shadow childe even claimed to have exposed a hand to Solaire's hateful gaze after imbibing Dulce, and had his fingers mostly intact after. Study continues.1.
