The Forge · Shelf Edition
Ore is not nothing. Ore contains the metal. The metal is there — embedded, latent, present. But it is locked inside rock. Surrounded by material that is not metal. Mixed with impurities that prevent the metal from doing what metal does: hold an edge, bear weight, conduct, ring when struck. Copper Seal · Certificate Nº 0009-1AIBOOKS · booksai.store
