Adamant

Adamant

One of the hardest fantasy substances known to man, adamant, or adamantium, or adamantite, or... look, it's complicated. But at least we know we're firmly in the realm of fantasy. Except, of course, we're not. At least, not entirely.

Adamant is a real thing, in spite of being some sort of metal inside mutant Canadians, or mythical metal used to make dwarven armor, or some kind of crystal worn by elves, or... well, look, even that is complicated. We should probably just sit down and talk about it. Straighten a few things out. It's not as tough as it seems.
