That gave that kid a huge advantage… Tutankhamun thought to himself. He was not an amateur like Hutton and Stephen. Although he did not specialize in magical enchantment, the vast knowledge and experience he had accumulated over the years allowed him to grasp critical aspects of any issue. Elemental iron was one of the most valuable magical metals in Anril. During the Dark Age 1300 years ago, only the royals of the High Elves had the right to use magical equipment made from elemental iron.
Furthermore, the powers of elemental iron grew with time. When Geresco created this crate, the elemental iron mineral vein he used was at least a few thousand years old. The mana within it was comparable to a magical crystal's.
