Of course, Gloranthan metals are only approximately like their earthly
counterparts. Gloranthan quicksilver (called sa-metal) doesn't come from
cinnabar, and Gloranthan alumin(i)um (lo-metal) isn't created the same way
earthly alumin(i)um is; they're two different forms of the same metal, like
water and ice, in a way.
This is probably explained in an email I haven't read yet, but it was
descibed in detail in "Elder Secrets". Has it been reprinted elsewhere?
