Unalloyed, or “pure” metals, such as, lead, tin, and copper, are not easily usable and in the case of iron prevent a person from using magic unless the item it is made into is “sealed” to the Rune connected with that metal.

Note that sealing is using the Enchant (metal) spell, and that the full rules for metals in RQG can be found in the Weapons and Equipment.
