-While magicians have used it since the beginning of recorded history, it was a few thousand years ago (c. 240 SD, or c. 7760 SF) that an archmage named Jican Trion of the University of RaForge, established in the city of Rigel, showed that channeling magical life force into the metal changed its energy state so that it was no longer normally perceivable in our plane.

-Terisium’s next state is the one that we can see and manipulate. Terisium<up>1</sup> appears as a dull gray metal, with a very high malleability. A strip of Terisium<sup>1</sup> can be easily bent, even by a child. When formed into a loop or sphere, it acts as a reverse energy pump, draining magic within the loop back to its native plane. The rate of the drain is proportional to the radius of the loop, and the amount of Terisium<sup>1</sup> used. Historically, only a weak and easily smithed Terisium<sup>1</sup>-Copper alloy was used to make manacles, due to the extremely high melting point of Terisium<sup>1</sup>. Nowadays, a Terisium<sup>1</sup>-Iron alloy can be smelted in specialty forges to make a practically useable set of manacles.

 Terisium<sup>1</sup> can also be made into an alloy with lead, usually a byproduct of the process of terisium mining. This alloy no longer has the draining properties, instead acting as a magical insulator. When crafted into armor, the structure of this alloy creates a high potential barrier, limiting magical energy from crossing it. Weapons made using this alloy are heavier and denser, and its ability to repel magic enhances attacks. Due to its weight (and toxicity), only a thin layer of this alloy can be used for armor and weapons.
