Three points here.

1) As I read it oricalcum (I hope that's right :) is made
with an alchemic radical of gold. It doesn't contain gold as such, so at
the very least the allergy's damage code should be lowered.

2) Weapon focus do not need to contain oricalcum even if it is used in the
enchantment (see grim).

3) IMHO the spurs themselves are not in direct contact with the body. They
are contained within the mechanism of the retraction assemblely.


One problem, don't spurs come in a set of four (two each arm) ?. How many
blades are you going to enchant and bond?
