[QUOTE="SidusLupus, post: 2219642, member: 10278"] If Mithril is Aluminum, how do you explain the strength properties? Aluminum isnt exactly durable. A chain shirt of aluminum wouldn't do very much to protect you. Isn't titanium fairly light metal? Adamantine is supposed to be a fairly dense and heavy thing, that's why stuff made from it weighs so much more. A better conversion might be that mithril is titanium or titanium alloy (strong and light). Make adamantine an alloy of another kind which someone with more chemical experience could suggest. Edit: I remember one, how about Osmium alloy of steel or something. I'd say it's easier to keep the mythic metals as seperate and try not to make real world comparisons, cause it makes things messy. On a side note, what color is Adamantine? I've always thought of it as blue for some reason. Might be because I happen to play Everquest. [/QUOTE]
