Description The element Cobalt was named after the imaginary demons, the Kobalds who lurked in mines and killed miners. In actuality the ores of Cobalt were so toxic that if miners inhaled its dusts, they were poisoned.

One of the snakes represents cobalt by itself, the color of blue, with a Barium symbol on its forehead- Barium helps intensify cobalt blues. The purple snake is cobalt under the influece of magnesium, the symbol is inside the snake's mouth, and the lithium symbol to help it flux and intensify the violets.

The purple snake represents verbal malevolence while the blue one represents physical malevolence (like violence).

This is an alchemically encoded recipe for an actual glaze- the one I used on the horns of "Chronic Depression".
