		Dzevv materials are magically enhanced versions of their mundane forms.

		== Physics ==

		The magical field surrounding each atom of a Dzevv metal interacts with the electromagnetic fields there. This generally has the effect of strengthening the bonds between atoms of the same type, raising their melting points. It also raises their hardness and strength, if they are in bulk quantities.

		Carbon and oxygen are great examples of this. Large-scale pure carbon structures are nearly pure Dzevv, particularly diamonds. Diamonds are fairly common because of the stronger bonds between the Dzevv atoms. Meanwhile, Dzevv oxygen is almost never found in compounds, being gaseous diatomic oxygen instead.

		Notable exceptions to the rule are silicon and gold. Dzevv silicon bonds to mundane oxygen just as strongly as mundane silicon does, so Dzevv silicates are really just composed of Dzevv silicon, with no other magical component. This makes them weaker than other Dzevv materials. Dzevv gold bonds to mundane gold with approximately the same strength as it does to itself, so it is very difficult to purify.

		The capacity of a dzevv element to hold magic is positively correlated with its atomic mass. How the capacity is used is dependent on the element. For instance, copper, silver, and gold transport energy very easily so are easy to charge and discharge. Copper has very low capacity so it is mostly just used as a conductive element in an item.

		== Smelting ==

		Purifying Dzevv materials takes advantage of the higher melting point. The most common process involves melting the full specimen, then cooling it to a point in between the melting points of the Dzevv and mundane material. The Dzevv will crystallize and sink to the bottom, and the mundane can be poured off to leave the purer Dzevv behind. With the current level of sophistication of this process, it is possible to get around 90% purity at each iteration.

		Dzevv aluminum is strongly crystalline. It is difficult to work it into custom forms, as it needs to be heated to the edge of melting before the cubic structure becomes malleable. However these crystals form quickly from an unconsolidated melt of ore. This makes purifying relatively easy.

		== Magic ==

		The magical field of the dzevv material is resistant to outside magic. It cannot be targeted by common spells. However, once a spell is implanted inside it through the careful actions of a weaver, it will be melded into the material’s natural magic and become permanent.
