Cream sauce. He's going to have to get his Rock off before he gets his rocks off. Hopefully everyone will just think it's turbulence.
Yes... yes it was saucy. *waggles eyebrows* Hahahaha!
This was a sweet chapter, nice job!

Having apparently had the good fortune to have never ingested either of those things, I'm going to go out on a limb & guess that what you just described is the liquid essence of Nightmares & Regrets
Brass? Um, I think you might mean bronze. It may be made differently, but it literally lasts forever and is tough and stuff... But brass? Not really. Brass is weak and looks kinda goldish. But correct me if there is something I don't know, as I do not know everything.
6739426
Nope, brass.
6739426 Finishing the chapter, I realized a mistake I made. While brass is lighter and cheaper, and truly used for many many things, I would not describe it as you did.
6739434
During the Victorian Era, brass was used for everything. There is a reason why we still use brass for bullet casings. Hardened brass is still used for naval gear and survival gear. It never rusts and is immune to many types of corrosion and acids. (Better made brass, anyway.)
Different military units the world wide used brass for buttons and such because it never wore down, corroded, rusted, or flaked apart from seawater. Many guns still use brass because brass hardly ever wears down, gets brittle, or breaks.
Brass is amazing.
6739461 Although the same can be said about bronze for the most part. Minus the sheer amount of use, I'll admit, brass is used for pretty much anything. But saying it's tough? Brass is able to be bent with bare hands (depending on thickness) and quite frankly, I'd rather be compared to bronze than brass. But that's just me, the little bronze-lover I am

Hardened brass cannot be bent with your hands. Cannons and guns were made out of brass. Hardened brass and annealed brass is almost indestructible by conventional methods. For a time, during the Victorian Era, brass became more valuable than gold in England.
Really, from a materials standpoint, brass is an amazing metal.
6739543 Hmm... Then I must have been given some pretty cheap-ass brass then... Damn...

Many guns and cannons were made out of brass because steel and iron was brittle. (When made from cheap materials or when it was very, very cold.) Brass made better barrels and receivers, but it cost so much more than steel or iron. Many Winchesters and Henry rifles have brass receivers will literally last forever, the rest of the gun will break down, the steel barrel has to be replaced, the wood will rot, but the brass receiver will last until the end of time.

Brass was the only material that could take the high powered rounds that Henry rifles fired. Everything else would crack and get stress fractures. Many early revolvers had brass receivers too... brass just didn't explode in your hand like steel could do on a cold day, or a gun that had been fired too many times in battle.

Most amazingly, certain types of brass made with aluminium is self healing.

Is it wrong that I now want to see a Brass Golem/Terminator that pulls itself together in one of your fics now, just wading through all of the shit that Bucky or Maud/Tarnish can put it through, rent metal twisting and turning like a living thing as it makes itself whole, each second inching closer and closer.
I may need to write this myself.
6741663
Don't get the wrong idea... self healing is not the amazing property you think it is.
Microscopic cracks and fissures brought about by stress and fatigue will fix themselves over time with the crystalline structure of the metal realigning itself. In steel, these cracks happen and over time, keep growing, getting larger and larger. With brass, these microscopic fissures will eventually close up if given enough time to realign.
It is amazing property, don't get me wrong, but don't get the mistaken idea that a shattered chunk of brass can fix itself. It doesn't quite work that way.
Brass is almost magical, as far as metals go. Maud really was giving Tarnish a compliment.

Well yeah, we live the in really real world, I imagine it's similar to the way Stainless steel is really hard to corrode with the galvanised (I think its Galvanised) layer of zinc (is it zinc?) correcting small scratches and protecting the steel underneath.
But MAGIC TALKING PONIES *Jazz Hands* we can have fun with this.
Edit: I appreciate that this comment, and my previous comment are both very silly, but I think it's just a great image, Brass is a very striking metal to build things out of, having been in a Brass band in my youth, when the instruments are polished and the Summer Sun's shining down, and all out on a march, it's an awesome sight to see.
I kinda got carried away with the idea of a Brass Terminator, my brain ran with the idea, there's magic with somewhat nebulous rules to exploit, and I would have so much fun trying to write that image into existence.
So, I just finished this, and I say WOW! Thanks.
Can't wait for more! Stayed up til 2 am to read this.
To Twilight, Celestia, or whomever can answer this question.
Did Nullwood trees look like Rowan trees? I ask because Rowan trees, at least where I'm from, were said to protect against Dark Sorcery. Witches, and other Ill-Intentioned magics, which led to them being planted by Front Doors and Gates, and Nullwood seems like an unfortunate evolution, or throwback, of such symbology.

Twilight: From what I understand, nullwood trees are related to dogwood trees. There are no more nullwood trees, as far as I know, all we have are crude drawings.
Brass is a great metal, shame that steel replaced it.

Eh, the golem is magic brass.
Traditional folk rhyme
"Vervain. trefoil, John's Wart, dill.
Frustrate witches of their will"
I've been told that "trefoil" is the Irish shamrock
"Vervain" & (Saint) "John's Wart" are the crap that you overpay for in Health Food store.
The "dill" is the dill in dill pickles
This is why you never see witches hanging out at McDonald's

odd herb combination, that said i can tell you thats not a very old saying, vervain is unique to the americas so that cant be any older then the mid colonial days which admitedly is a long time ago, but not near as long as some folk tails that came over from europe
also depending on how you interpret that it could mean it makes witches stupid, or just efectivly puts them under what in rpg terms we would call the 'silence' effect cause 'will' is often a term used to denote magical ability so 'frustraiting' a witch of there will means to deprive them of there magic.
