Magical ores are ores utilized by people of the magic community including witches as core materials for either enchantments or crafting magical items characterized by their gleaming appearance.

One of the well-known magical ores is Silverfang Stone, famously used to banish the dreaded Devilclaw.

The ores can also be crafted into more mundane tools such as orichalcum whisk attached in mixer used by one of the faery laborers of Luna Nova as revealed in Sky War Stanship.
