'''Divine metals''' are special, procedurally generated [[metal]]s that can be found in [[vault]]s. Divine metals are used as material for items, [[weapon]]s and [[armor]] used by [[angel]]s, who ruthlessly protect the vault's priceless treasures. (Similar [[divine fabric]]s are used by vault guardians for clothing and soft items.)

[[File:divine_metal_art_preview.png|thumb|247px|right|A dwarf wearing armor made with metal made by the gods.<br><small>''Art by Metadomino''</small>]]Divine metals appear to have identical [[Material definition token|material properties]] and lists of items craftable from them; the only differences between them are the names, colors, and [[deity]] associations. All divine metals have high yield values of 1000000 and fracture values of 2000000, and perfect strain-at-yield values of 0. They are extremely light, at a solid density of only 1000, and have a superior max edge of 12000. They are granted [[sphere]]s matching the associated [[deity]] that created the metal (and the guardians who wield it), and a descriptive name with the formula of "(adjective) metal" – examples of such are "multicoloured metal", "pale metal", and "twisting metal".
 
  
Overall, their material properties are much better than the corresponding values of [[steel]] and mostly worse than those of [[adamantine]]. They are terrifyingly potent when used for edged weapons, due to their ultra-sharpness, but despite their light weight, even blunt weapons tend to be highly effective (unlike adamantine, which is worthless for blunt weapons). As armor, they are the only form of metal that is immune to [[dragonfire]], as it cannot melt or boil. Despite this immunity to melting when worn as armor, divine metals can be designated for melting at a smelter. Doing so will produce a number of divine metal bars equal to the yield of the item type. The bars can then be used at a metalsmith's forge to create weapons, armor, etc. just like normal metal bars.

Loading a generated world in the [[object testing arena]] allows one to test weapons and armour made of divine metals. As of now, this version of the game has all divine metal - in any form - appearing as grey, and no other colors.
