Memory Metal is a material which can be used by blacksmiths. On its own, the material seems to have nearly identical properties to steel. When crafted into a fine melee weapon, gauntlet, or bracer, however, it can gain a powerful new property. The knowledge of any one technique or spell with the WeaponBase field can be imbued into the forged item. Anytime thereafter, any being who wields the weapon (or wears the bracer) gains complete and instantaneous knowledge of the maneuver, as if he or she has been using it for years. As soon as the item leaves their grasp, however, the maneuver is just as quickly forgotten. In effect, this grants the wielder the ability to use a WeaponBase move chosen by the Blacksmith.
If the Blacksmith doesn't know the technique or spell to be imbued, the cost of Memory Metal equals the cost of that technique or spell. If the Blacksmith does know the proper technique or spell, then the cost becomes 2 cost levels lower than the cost of that technique or spell. (For example, a Higher cost Power-based technique can be acquired as a Lower cost Power-based Memory Metal.) Cost level cannot be reduced below "Lowest."
Variant
Over time, woodworkers have learned to emulate the property of Memory Metal, in what has now been dubbed Wonder Wood. Wonder Wood has physical properties more similar to oak than steel, but otherwise has the same cost and effects as Memory Metal. As such, any practiced woodworker can choose to gain Wonder Wood in place of Memory Metal.
Trivia
- The Memory Metal (material) treasure is an original creation by one of Hyrule Castle's members. Its concept is credited to Guy.
