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.
