| Orichalcum | comment |
Orichalcum is a legendary precious metal that was mentioned by Plato as used in Atlantis. Orichalcum appears in many other places in classical Greek and Roman writings (for example, the Homeric Hymns assign gold and orichalcum ornaments to Aphrodite) but it's the Atlantis reference that it's remembered for. It has since been commonly used in fantasy literature and games as a type of Unobtainium. The term is Greek for "golden stone" and originally meant "mountain copper" or "mountain metal", though nobody is sure exactly what it was supposed to be. Possibilities range from an alloy of normal metals to a completely fantastic material, though the most common perception is that it is brass.note Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc that superficially looks like gold. Supported by, among other things, the discovery of a 6th century BC Greek ship carrying ingots of brass. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })For some reason, translators often fail to recognize the word in media of Japanese origin, leading to misspellings like "orihalcon". (Surprisingly, this is very close to the Modern Greek pronunciation of the word.) Compare Mithril, Adamantium, Hihi'irokane and Thunderbolt Iron. Subtrope of Fantasy Metals and/or Green Rocks.

In Guild Wars 2 Orichalcum is red-bronze in appearance and the highest-level metal in the game, used to craft the most powerful weapons. While present in all level-appropriate zones, it is most frequently encountered in Orr, the game's Atlantis analogue. | |

In Demon Fist, "orihalcon" is super-strong and damps out supernatural energies (so when Rory is handcuffed with it, he can't use his demon arm or manifest Shaise, Crag or Dither). The pirates are amazed to discover that Rosenquist has entire prison cells made of the stuff. | |

In Slayers, as "Orihalcon". It has turned up in both the anime and manga, misspelled the same.... In this series, orihalcum's schtick is magic resistance. The metal can block any spells. |

In the Points of Light setting for Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition, mention is made of a magical metal called "orium" that had a "red-gold" appearance and which was used by ancient empires, but which has since been lost and has yet to be rediscovered — in no small part due to the fact that the byproducts of fashioning it are lethally poisonous. The metallic dragon associated with orium is a serpentine figure with an affinity for ancient ruins and lost secrets, which it defends with its toxic Breath Weapon. | |

In Pathfinder, "horacalcum" is a fantastically expensive coppery metal from meteorites and alien planets that distorts time around it, allowing wearers of horacalcum armour to perceive threats more quickly. The centrepiece of Adrati Kalm's Golden Ossuary, itself a monument to Conspicuous Consumption, is a horacalcum vault of incredible value which has the side-effect of preserving his remains in a bubble of slowed time for easy resurrection. | |

The near-unbreakable shield in Dragon Quest Swords is a SPOON made of Orichalcum, but due to its obviously small size which can't be increases and that if you can block as accurately with any other shield as you can with the spoon, they'll be just as durable, it's not nearly as useful as it'd initially seem. | |

It makes a comeback in Dragon Quest IX as one of the greatest, yet rarest alchemy ingredients. To give you a scope on how rare it is, every other mineral in the game can be found as Randomly Drops or by finding them on the ground in certain spots of the world map. Orichalcum is found NOWHERE in the world and the only monsters that drop them do so with a 1/256 chance, which is as rare as it gets in this game. Fortunately, when you do get your hands on some, you can use it for some of the best gear in the game, such as the Sage's Stone, which heals your entire party, as well as Erdrick's gear, which is the best gear in the game barring the Uber-gear. | |

The Elder Scrolls has a tower made of "orichalc", which was on a sunken continent named Yokuda. As of Skyrim, orichalcum is a blackish-green metal used to make Orcish armor and weapons, which in previous installments was just high quality steel equipment. Such items are known for their green tint and being "ugly and strong, like those that forged them." Oddly, "Dwemer Metal" better fits the traditional description of orichalcum - it's a lustrous red-gold, an ancient and advanced civilization used it to make all their wonders, and it isn't found naturally, forcing players to smelt down items from Dwemer ruins for ingots. |

In Mega Man X5, the Orichalcum, held by Crescent Grizzly / Grizzly Slash, is one of the components required to upgrade the Enigma laser cannon so it can destroy a colony ship. When recovered, it is said to increase the weapon's "striking ability." In Western releases, it was renamed the "Crystal Ball," possibly because the translators did not recognize the reference. | |

Appears in the Final Fantasy series as items made of the material, with various spellings. An orichalcum knife is a very strong item. Final Fantasy XI and Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles instead have it available in the form of ore to make items. | |

Noted in The Heroes of Olympus; the Gods and Greek Demigods use a metal known as Celestial Bronze, a metal mined from Mt. Olympus, while Roman Demigods use a metal known as Imperial Gold, enchanted gold. As noted above Orichalcum means "mountain copper" and the Romans transliterated it as Aurichalcum meaning "Gold Copper". So those two metals are literally this trope. They are said to be supernatural metals capable of harming Monsters, Gods and their descendants; however, it can't harm mortals. | |

In the second season of The Mysterious Cities of Gold, it is revealed that all of the Mu artifacts we've seen (including the city) aren't actually made of gold, but Orichalcum. This does solve the problem of why an advanced race would make an aircraft out of an extremely heavy and brittle metal with a low melting point. | |

Orichalcum appears in Shadowrun. It's a very rare metal, known for reacting and conducting magic. It is used to create various magical foci, especially weapon focus. Here it is explicitly described as an alloy of common metals, albeit one which is a "metallurgical nightmare" and does not form properly unless magic is used in making it. It has also appeared in the Shadowrun video games. Also appears in Earthdawn, where it's the result of fusing the five True Elements. |

"Orichalkos" is all over the Atlantean civilization of the Age of Mythology expansion pack, "The Titans". It is used to explain some of their more advanced technology (like the Fire Siphon), a common mentioned material of advanced upgrades and the strongest material the Atlanteans can make their walls. The metal is also mentioned to magically become very lightweight after being quenched in seawater. | |

Used in Yu-Gi-Oh! in association with Atlantis, as "the Orichalcos". It was a mysterious glowing, torquoise, rock-like substance that fell from the sky 10,000 years ago and the ancient Atlanteans used it to create a Magitek Utopia, but it was also The Corruption and turned nearly everyone into monsters and The Good King, Dartz, into an Immortal Brainwashed and Crazy Evil Sorcerer and Omnicidal Maniac, and pressed him into unleashing an Eldritch Abomination called the Leviathan (in the dub) to destroy the world and create Paradise from the ruins. It is ultimately the reason Atlantis sunk beneath the waves. The members of DOMA all had rings with bits of Orichalcum in them and used the Spell Card "Seal of Orichalcos", which lets you have double the maximum number of monsters on the field, grants each of them 500 ATK... and creates an unbreakable forcefield aound the duelists based on the Seal, and if you lose a duel inside the Seal, your soul gets eaten by the Leviathan. Dartz himself has two more versions of the card that grant additional effects, as well as an entire deck of Monster Cards and Trap Cards themed on the Orichalcos. The only way to break the Seal is is to use a piece of Orichalcum, hence the rings they use, although it seems like they can only be broken from the outside so they are only good for ending someone else's Duel. Well, hitting it really hard with a Millennium Item works too...for a given definition of "works". |

The general rule of thumb in Dragon Quest is that if it's made of Orichalcum, it either kicks three different kinds of ass or is a flat-out Game-Breaker. The Sword of Kings in Dragon Quest III is made of the metal "Oricon". It is also used for Dai's sword in Dai no Daibouken. It is also an Item Crafting material in Dragon Quest VIII. The near-unbreakable shield in Dragon Quest Swords is a SPOON made of Orichalcum, but due to its obviously small size which can't be increases and that if you can block as accurately with any other shield as you can with the spoon, they'll be just as durable, it's not nearly as useful as it'd initially seem. It makes a comeback in Dragon Quest IX as one of the greatest, yet rarest alchemy ingredients. To give you a scope on how rare it is, every other mineral in the game can be found as Randomly Drops or by finding them on the ground in certain spots of the world map. Orichalcum is found NOWHERE in the world and the only monsters that drop them do so with a 1/256 chance, which is as rare as it gets in this game. Fortunately, when you do get your hands on some, you can use it for some of the best gear in the game, such as the Sage's Stone, which heals your entire party, as well as Erdrick's gear, which is the best gear in the game barring the Uber-gear. In Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime, both orichalcum and orichalslime are used as weapons and alchemy ingredients. |

Orichalcum in GURPS looks just like bronze but it much stronger and automatically makes blades forged from it extremely sharp. It's also a room-temperature superconductor, should anyone come along who knows how to use that sort of thing, as noted in the Infinite Worlds sourcebook. In the Atlantis sourcebook it's also an "etheric resonator" if local physics allows such a thing, enabling a Steampunk campaign to keep the "advanced power source" concept without moving too far from the paradigm. In either case, it also has "additional secondary useful properties" allowing its use as "an all-purpose technobabble keyword". |

Appears in Mage: The Awakening, where it is produced by magically passing gold between the material world and Twilight until most of its substance is gone.
