I'm being pedantic about this, but I've not seen anything that explicitly states everything from the elemental planes are magical. It's an assumption on our part that things from other planes are de facto magical. I think it's reasonable to assume that, but I don't think it can be taken as proof that true elements are magical (that true elements are magical would be evidence pointing to all things from the elemental planes being magical). Maybe kernels are really just the rocks and dirt of the other planes?
This is exactly the doubts I was facing but now with Annunaki reply I got exactly what I needed: a canon answer.

Thank you all.

ED1, "Magic: A Manual of Mystic Secrets." Quoting first few sentences from the True Elements section, p.53 (bolding mine):

"The True elements are the magical essences of the five elemental planes--air, earth, fire, water and wood--concentrated into physical form on the material plane. These highly magical substances form the basis of many of the magical arts in the world of Earthdawn."

And same book, Properties of the True Elements section, first sentence, p.54:

"Each True element contains unique magical properties."

And still same book, Orichalcum section, p.56:

"Because it contains all of the True elements, orichalcum is a highly magical material that, combined with other materials, produces magical items more powerful than those created using only one or two of the True elements."

Comparable, if not identical entries in the various editions of Earthdawn. Just thought we'd go back to the source on this one.

Hope this helps!

Take kaer, James

Hmm, now, as GM, I'm waffling between whether I want all things in the other planes to be magical or not.

They are described as "something akin to pink-pick holes to the elemental planes" in some of the novels, and one of the 1st edition preview stories describes fire-cannon as "mana burst cannons"

(2) An elemental air coin rings and levitates when struck. Sounds like some magical property to me.

(3) Page 405 of the 4E player's guide states "[o]richalcum is a magical metal made up of all elements".

I would think they would light up to at least a minimal degree. However, a single kernel may be too small to really notice.

Having a bit of an argument on whether Orichalcum (and/or any other True Elements) are 'magical' by nature or not.

In other words: if I was to switch to Astral Sight and check a orichalcum coin, a kernel of True Fire, would I see them as non-magical (bland) or magical (light-up)?

Thank you.
