Character: Nick Moore, Human Wizard and Two Mercury Elementals
Nick is a studious wizard who appreciates solitude and finds peace in nature. His arcane studies and his quest to explore unusual materials have led him to meet several mercury elementals.
Fascinated by their properties, Nick managed to befriend the mercury elementals and eventually enlisted their often unpredictable help to further his magical, as well as his scientific, studies.
About Mercury Elementals:
One of only two elements that are liquid at standard conditions, mercury is a heavy metal whose unusual properties have been fascinating alchemists and sages for centuries. While some rare metals such as gallium and caesium melt with just a bit of heat, mercury is the only metal that’s naturally liquid despite being more than thirteen times denser than water.
Mercury elementals are crafty, shifty, and often whimsical, able to change their shape, squeeze through tiny openings, and befuddle enemies with their unusual properties and unpredictable behavior. They are also toxic, just like their element that’s dangerous to handle without special precautions, and they can be lethal to mortals who dare threaten them.
Resourceful artificers have found ways to use mercury’s peculiar physical properties as a dense liquid metal in various inventions, including measuring instruments and electrochemical contraptions. Those who manage to befriend a mercury elemental discover that they make for resourceful, if not sometimes erratic, allies.
Mercury mixes easily with most metals, including aluminium, silver, and even gold to form alloys known as amalgams. However, iron, tantalum, tungsten, platinum, and some light metals do not form amalgams, a fact that often annoys mercury elementals.
