    This is not true. Oxidation is a broad type of chemical reaction involving the loss of electrons. Rust is a type of oxidation, much as a square is a type of rectangle. Oxidation can occur on the surface level (tarnishing of some metals, passivation of aluminum) or throughout (combustion). Rust actually only occurs on the surface as well, but the iron oxide is less dense than the metal and it increases the available area of the surface exposed to oxygen.

    Yeah... Reading back my comment, it was badly written... I know rust is a type of oxydation, but that's not what I wrote!

      Well, not quite. Rust eats into iron because oxidised iron is larger and much more brittle than unoxidised iron, physically ripping itself out of place.

      Many oxides arent that much larger than their base metals and form a nice patina protecting the metal underneath, like in aluminium.

      Other oxides destroy the structural integrity of the metal and eat into it, forming corrosion. Rust is just corrosion specific to iron.

      I didn't know of other type of oxides that eat into the metal like rust does...

      But it's true that a "rusted crown" implies that it is iron-based, so the cantrip should work!

          It’s artifact level - a cantrip simply doesn’t work on it. When the players ask why, you just tell them they don’t know - neither does anyone in the town/city whatever they’re in.

            Ah yes, removes the rust, the object, and the table it was sitting on...

              So a player that told you from beginning what he wants to do, which doesnt fit into your story, should they be forbiden to participate?

              I never said anything even vaguely approaching that?

              What do you even mean by "told me from the beginning what he wants to do"? If I'm prepping a fantasy campaign and one of my players tells me, "I'd kinda prefer we do something sci-fi" then I have no obligation to change my entire campaign because a player isn't happy with it. I might still do it, if I felt interested in running that and the rest of the table does too, but imo I'm well within my rights to tell him no.

              If you mean that he wants a plotline of his own then I'd do my best to accommodate that, assuming it doesn't clash with the rest of the campaign horribly. If it does, then I'd just say that and offer alternatives if I can think of any. If I can't, then of course he can still play if he'd like.

                  Easy. He needs to roll 100 on a single d20 or the spell fails and creates a big neon sign above the player characters head that follows them everywhere and reads "annoying little shit"

                      The idea was to have some kind of urgency but only once the players were far enough to understand the basics of what was going on. To that end, the date was supposed to be vague so that the GM was free to say "you figured out that the ritual will happen right after summer ends – which is in less than a week".

                      Then he forgot that the timeframe was vague when I wrote the letter and told me to pick a date.

                      Unfortunately, this cut out a side plot where our party would've hired another party to hunt down some artifact. That artifact retroactively got downgraded to a red herring for time reasons.

                      On the other hand, we got an absolutely precious scene where the one party member who wasn't magic-affine and didn't want to be involved with any supernatural stuff had to ride an unnaturally fast six-legged half-demon horse in order to catch up with the bad guys.

                      Also, it cut down on all the "three wizards and a vintner have breakfast and discuss the state of the investigation" episodes. We had a lot of those.

                      Ardo still thinks that we should just leave this whole mess to the sun god's holy inquisition and get the fuck out of town, thank you very much.
