Bab 105: Chapter 105: Bronze Wands

Bronze wands incorporate the mystical metal bronze, typically a quite small amount in either the end cap or tip of the wand.

Bronze

Bronze is an alloy of approximately 88% copper and 12% tin, although the ratio between the two metals has historically varied greatly, especially during antiquity.

Historically, bronze was the second major metal mastered by mankind, leading to the Bronze Age (ca. 3300-1300 BCE) that flourished from the end of the copper Age (ca. 4300-3300 BCE) to the beginning of the Iron Age (ca. 1300 BCE - 500 CE). Different parts of the world transitioned between mastery of these metals at different times, and these dates are primarily for Europe and the Middle East.

Bronze was widely used in the making of weapons, armor, sculptures, and tools. It is considerably harder than the copper it replaced and even the wrought iron that eventually replaced it as humanities main metal.
