Tin is very commonly used with other metals, especially as a component 
of bronze and as a plating material.  Indeed, the move from copper (the 
Chalcolithic) to the Bronze Age marked our first great technological 
shift as such things are classified.

I considered adding such a classification, but there were good 
arguments for giving mercury to Ofanim, Kyriotates, and Mercurians, and 
I decided an individual GM might have a different take on the matter.  
Ditto the angels that make up Awase -- the classical metals might have 
mythical resonance, but Bronze and Steel are worthy angelic Words.  A 
GM who wanted to do a reach could have Heaven long ago Wording an angel 
of Uranium or Plutonium, or even Technetium -- though these Words, 
generally speaking, better suit demonic opponents of Awase and his 
Servitors.
