.hg i think /the Element Animals/ is a better name than /the Astrally Forged/

@moonbolt I appreciate the 'heavy elements are made in stars' aspect of the Astrally Forged, but the Element Animals does seem more straight-forward if that's what you want.

@fibonacci_reminder @moonbolt "The Element Animals" seems *too* direct to me, names rarely contain a direct description of the people they are naming, usually at most some of their properties. But maybe it's just because I really like the aesthetic of "The Astrally Forged", implying effort in creation and somehow great power.

In the end it's about aesthetic preferences – direct, simple, minimal (and clearly plural) vs immensely powerful magic item creation vibe, ambiguity, cosmos (and perhaps a suggestion of either connecting multiples into one or splitting one into multiples). The parenthesed things might be important, since they influence how your identity might be perceived?
