Now i dont know much (or anything) about alchemy, but perhaps this is related. Ever heard of Damascus steel? so sharp it could cut stone, never broke, never rusted? Well the ancient secret was lost to history apparently. We can make steel with the same patterens and ingredients. but not the mythical weapons of yore. So heres my take. perhaps the secret was magick. Alchemy or enchantment placed on the blades/metal objects could easily explain their mystical properies and the lost art of making them as of old. Let me know what you think ppl.
