There are three classifications of secondary materials. Tempering or Technique - using magic or other special means to enhance the metal; Dusting/Flecking - using a mineral or other metal to enhance the properties of a metal or alloy; and Marking - using known symbols of power to enhance a metal with certain properties. The key difference is that while tempering or techniques require a specific skill set, marking requires specific knowledge of divine marks, and flecking requires additional materials.
