Trivia[]
- "Quicksilver" is an old name for the element Mercury, which in real life is a liquid at room temperature and is highly toxic.
- In reality, a Quicksilver (Mercury) ingot could not be made, unless its temperature reaches -38°C (-36.4°F), since it would be liquid at higher temperatures. That said, compounds such as cinnabar that contain mercury do exist naturally in the solid state.
