Now, this sounds farfetched, but my new goal with my initiate grade 2 dwarven Earth elementalist is to lace my bones with Orichalcum. Our group is based in London, one year before YotC. I have medicore skills in alchemy and enchanting(4/3 respectively), and am thinking about enchanting my new skeleton as a focus of some sort, probably conjuring or power. Exactly how much orichalcum would i need, and would alchemy-produced be equivelant to the naturally occuring stuff in YotC? My GM is wary of the idea, but he's willing to let me try, knowing that it will be well-nigh impossible for me to get my hands on the much. These are my ideas for procuring it so far:

1: Sweat shop of alchemists, possibly starting a cult to ease production(pay them less and less likely to just kill me and steal the orichalcum)

2: Get it as reward from Dunkie's will. Unlikely.

3: Claim jump a site in YotC. IMO, this is my best bet, as tough as that would be.

Moving on, assuming i can procur it(ha!), how exactly would i got about enchanting it and implanting it? Which order would i do it in? My vague idea at the moment is to astrally project during the surgery(project before surgery, with no anasthesia-Sp?, as i recall, you can't feel pain in your meat body) and either enchant it from astral space, or do an astral quest of some sort to enchant it. Astral quest was also thought about for binding the resulting focus to me, considering the cost/karma rules for binding a focus doesn't really cover this.

Finally, in the unlikely possibility that i actually succeed in this venture, would i basicly turn into a dwarf-size ball of yeah-right-trying-to mask-this? I figure a focus that big inside my body coupled with whatever magical power i have innately at that point would make me a giant glowing beacon in astral space whenever the focus was activated, and possibly when its not as well. Would i have a Background count centered on me? maybe aspected to somelike earth magic or dwarves or something like that? one of the other players suggested that i would turn into a walking powersite, with every mage near me trying to tap into me.

Anyway, its alot to think about, just wanted some feedback, and any more ideas on how to go about this. Thanks in Advance.
