Metals

Copper

A red-orange coloured metal, Copper has found use in tools and weapons for many years. Readily available and one of the first metals to be used in alloys, Copper has fallen out of favour for those more practical uses and has instead found life as coinage. Mechanomancers and other inventors have been gathering the metal for some of its other properties though. Old copper develops a greenish patina if not cared for.

Bronze

A metallic reddish-brown metal alloy of copper and tin, Bronze was the metal of choice of early civilizations before being able to reliably process iron. It's still possible to find tools, weapons and armour made from Bronze but it is getting increasingly rare. Bronze doesn't rust but can develop a copper patina if too much copper was used in the alloy.

Iron

A silvery-gray metal that is incredibly abundant throughout the world. Iron weapons, armour and tools are the defacto standard for the vast majority of those things. Iron is prone to rust and as such over long periods of time it's entirely likely that these things will be destroyed.

Steel

Not long after the discovery of Iron would come the discovery of Steel, a minor alloy of Iron and Carbon that requires a much higher heat to create than regular smelted Iron. Steel is used in all the same applications as Iron, the harder creation requirements result in a slightly more expensive item but it comes with the benefit of slightly reduced weight. Steel is also prone to rusting.

Cold Iron

In the deepest mines, where the weight of the earth is oppressive and no light has ever been seen miners have found Iron with a blue-ish hue to it. Cold Iron is incredibly rare but is as easily workable as regular Iron. Cold Iron is particularly effective against extraplanar creatures. It is vulnerable to rust like all other Iron objects.

Silver

A relatively uncommon metal, that has a mirror like appearance, Silver is often used in more mundane items and jewellery. When it is used in weapons and armour, this is usually decorative in nature but do not be fooled, weapons forged of silver are particularly offensive to devils and lycanthropes. Silver doesn't rust but rather develops a tarnish if not 100% pure or cared for, turning a dull orange in colour. 100% pure silver is not used in weapons or armour that see actual use as it's too soft

Material Effects

Where a weight is changed, it must be rounded to the nearest .5lb (e.g. A 42lb item reduced by 15% (6.3lb) would be 35.7lb adjusted to 36lb).
