PFS StandardQuickiron Plasm

Looking much like an ooze, a quickiron plasm is a mass of the rust-red liquid skymetal known as djezet, prized in the Universe for its magic-enhancing properties. Quickiron plasms feed on the residual energies left behind by large expenditures of magical power, which they can detect from miles away.

Sidebar - Treasure and Rewards Djezet Extraction

When a quickiron plasm dies, most of the djezet making up its body becomes inert and useless. However, a skilled alchemist can sometimes extract trace amounts of the valuable skymetal from its remains. This is a 10-minute process that requires the Alchemical Crafting feat, a proficiency rank of expert or better in Crafting, and a successful DC 20 Crafting check. A successful attempt produces a single djezet dose that remains potent for 1 hour before breaking down into a foul-smelling goo. The item has no value if sold due to its temporary nature.

Elemental, Metal

Source Rage of Elements pg. 153
Metal elementals can manifest in a wide variety of different forms, from shapeless amalgams of different metals to humanoid and beast-like monstrosities.

The Elemental Planes—primordial realms defined by aspects of air, earth, fire, or water—are home to a diverse group of beings known as elementals. Spellcasters on the Material Plane call upon elementals for aid, though these enigmatic creatures can also travel to the world of mortals via interplanar gateways and rifts. The elementals on these pages exemplify the creatures of the Elemental Planes, but this list is by no means exhaustive.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Metal Forms

Though metal elementals are made almost entirely of metal, most are composed of layers of different metals in tiny fragments, as complex as a body of flesh or plant matter. Many of these metals are rusted or decayed from the natural, slow entropy of the Plane of Metal.
