Silver Has Mystic Powers: Difference between revisions

Due to the above, silver is almost always considered to be on the good end of magic (and items formed of it may also be [[Made of Good]]). Some works can make it evil though, or used for evil when [[Light Is Not Good]]. A [[Winter Royal Lady]] might prefer silver due to it fitting in with that trope's color scheme.

 

 

 

Compare [[Mithril]] (which is also called "silver"), [[Crystal Skull]], [[Power Crystal]].

{{examples|Examples }}

* In ''[[The Silver Chair]]'', the eponymous item is used to brainwash a prince.

* The rat god, in ''[[Literature/Bride Of The Rat God|Bride Of The Rat God]]'' by [[Barbara Hambly (Creator)|Barbara Hambly]], can only be sealed away with pictures using silver in them. When the god uses his mind tricks to get a master painter sent away, the people trying to stop it remember that the silver in film could do the same thing (as this took place in Hollywood during [[The Roaring Twenties]]).

* ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' uses this a lot for so many items.
