Pyrane

Pyrane is a gold-colored, poisonous metal, generally utilized in assassinations and weapon creation.

Overview
This material's color and appearance often confuses individuals into thinking that it is true gold, up until they touch it. This metal secretes a toxin that, upon contact with skin, causes it to burn. This burning sensation is excruciating, causing people and animals of any age to wail out in pain. Even the strongest of Mages, and other sentient races, will find themselves unable to tolerate the pain of this poison. After the poison burns the skin, it can work its way into the body and the bloodstream. After entering the bloodstream, the flow of the infected's bloodstream causes the poison to spread all throughout the body, causing great pain wherever it goes. The pain can be so excruciating that those suffering from infection will die from it, based upon the dosage (the larger the dose, or the longer one remains in contact with the Pyrane, the more pain the infected person will undergo).

Due to its properties and appearance, this metal has been nicknamed "Fool's Gold". The poison itself is tasteless and odorless, making it very useful for assassination attempts. The poison from the metal can be harvested by itself in order to sneak into a person's food or clothes, or the metal can be fashioned into a weapon in order to poison targets by touching it. The metal is much stronger than actual gold, being comparable to other sturdy metals such as steel and even Adamantine.

This poison is incredibly potent, as well as possessing no cure. The only way to stop the pain would be to forcefully purge the poison from the body, or allow the body to remove or cleanse the infected blood itself. However, those with an immunity to poison in the first place, such as Slayers, will be able to withstand, or possibly even consume the poison. If subjected to it enough times, one can also gain a high resistance, or immunity to Pyrane poison. This immunity can even allow for a high resistance to other poisons.
