Changes: Orichalcum (item)

Revision as of 18:51, 23 January 2019

Template:Sideicon

A certain kind of metal is always used when making statues of protection. This orichalcum is a curious metal indeed, ever burning with a cold flame. That it appears as a flame, in fact, has led to the belief that orichalcum has no true substance... but combine an incandescent flame with the cool-burning flame of the metal, and the energy given off as a result will be quite real enough to convince even the stubbornest skeptic. This is the power that moves the statues.
Research Notes

Orichalcum (オリハルコン, Oriharukon?) is a recurring item in the Final Fantasy series. Usually a key item or loot, it is a rare ore like the Mythril and the Adamantite. It is usually used in weapons, such as the Orichalcum Dirk.

The orichalcum is an extremely rare mineral that can be found only within the Eisen continent. Orichalcum is described as being an extremely hard mineral, the hardest mineral off all, possibly as hard or harder than diamonds.

Ringabel then pushes a "glowing button" and Grandship starts to rise from the sea, and is revealed to be an airship.

Other appearances

Etymology

[view · edit · purge]The word "orichalcum" is derived from the Greek word oreichalkos, meaning "mountain copper" or "mountain metal", and is mentioned in several ancient writings, most notably associated with Atlantis. Orichalcum was said to be second in value only to gold, and was the source of Atlantis' wealth and power. The exact type of metal that Orichalcum was is unknown, but it is commonly thought to be some form of alloy of bronze and/or copper, and other metals.
