#1114: Metallurgy explain

[Cueball and Megan are in a weapon store talking to a bearded salesman wearing a hat.]
[Salesman holds up a sword.]
Salesman: This sword was forged from a fallen star. Antimony impurities make the blade surpassingly brittle and weak.
[Salesman holds up a dagger.]
Salesman: And this dagger is made of metal from a far-off kingdom. It glows blue.
Off-panel: When orcs are near?
Salesman: No, always. Radiation from the Actinium content.
Megan: …Does it have Eldritch powers?
Salesman: It gives the wearer +2 to cancer risk.
Cueball: I think we should find another shop.
