The trees that had grown to replace the metal constructs Toz and Nil had set up or had metal mana poured into them didn't display apparent changes like the wood affected by the other attributes. The wood got sturdier and wasn't as easily damaged. It also got a slightly smoother and shinier surface, but overall it still looked mostly like the void trees had done without the influence of concentrated elemental mana.
Compared to the trees affected by lightning and fire mana, the trees affected by metal mana also hadn't shown any independent change or growth. Though aside from the first round of inspection after the purple fruit was discovered, neither Toz nor Nil had bothered to check the trees too thoroughly.
Toz had gotten absorbed into training and monitoring his sword, and Nil had taken it slow and gradually deepened his understanding of metal, trying to learn Sharp Rain.
