Orichalcum

Orichalcum
Description	If you end your turn without Block, gain 6 Block.
Flavor	A green tinted metal of an unknown origin. Seemingly indestructible.
Rarity	Common
Class	Any

Orichalcum is a common relic that gives you  6 Block at the end of your turn, but only if you end it without Block. It is a good defense relic, though you always need to take it into account when defending.

Interactions

• Orichalcum will function with Metallicize, Thread and Needle, Plated Armor, or the Defect's Frost orbs, as those only grant block at the end of your turn.
• But it will work very poorly with After Image, since playing any card will disable Orichalcum

Trivia

• Orichalcum is a metal mentioned in several ancient writings, including the story of Atlantis in the Critias of Plato. It was, most likely, a alloy of copper/gold and zinc/tin (granting its green color) and due to the fact that tin was rare at the time, thus justifying its mythical origin/existence.
