Talk:Quicksilver Slime/@comment-33016788-20170903001216

Gonna pull out all the stops on my nerdiness and say this. Quicksilver is not silver, but MERCURY, as in a different metal. It can be manmade, or naturally made because of effects from humans doing things. And yes, it does look kinda silver, but it has a strange tendency towards being liquidated, so maybe it would be kinda like puddle slimes, which are liquids? I am not sure, but I feel that it might be actually be manmade. According to https://people.uwec.edu/jolhm/EH/Leslie/what_mercury.htm   Mercury (Hg) is an element that occurs in the environment  naturally as a result of human activity. It is a silvery color and the only metal that is liquid and room temperature. ... While  natural levels of  mercury have never been a threat to humans or animals,  man- made levels are. This suggests that they are only found in that valley because someone(Miles?)is doing something that would cause our Quicksilver Slimes to be created naturally. So what is Miles doing? Some crazy Slimescience stuff?

If its manmade, then it would be created like this:  Mercury is usually produced from cinnabar rock, also known as  mercury ore. The rock contains  mercury sulfide, which gives it its red color. ... The sulfur combines with oxygen and the  mercury turns to vapor at a boiling point of 674 degrees F (356 degrees C). The vapor is condensed to form liquid  mercury. This is explained by http://www.brainstuffshow.com/blogs/how-is-mercury-made-and-where-does-it-come-from.htm. So the question is, is Miles making it so he can make money? Is Miles doing some sketchy things and messing with slimes to make Quicksilver slimes? And most importantly how? with slimescience? or something we have never heard of?

Is Miles a wizard??
