So, as my user name suggests, I like to write a lot, and I have a lot of ideas on things to write. Many of those ideas are taking your typical fantasy elements and making a new spin on them in some way, my favorite trying to bring more science in with all the magic. One of my favorite Fantasy creatures is the werewolf because WEREWOLVES ARE AWESOME! But there is one element of werewolves I have never liked all that much, and that is the one where they cannot be harmed by anything other than silver. However, in a fantasy thing I'm writing (That may or may not be connected to my Sources of the Universe series that I may be uploading chapter by chapter onto this forum in creator's corner that you should definitely read and maybe leave some thoughts or a review on) where I am trying to make more scientific versions/explanations to many fantasy tropes, my explanation for the silver weakness is that it has a similar effect lead has on humans. Now I will be doing some research on lead poisoning, but besides the fact I'm somewhat crap at researching things still, I was wondering what information and tidbits could provide on the nature of lead poisoning and if Silver can do something similar somehow (I know Silver is not toxic, as I have eaten sweets that have a thin layer of silver; what I'm asking is how to make silver poisonous to another being. Like, what would their biology have to be like to have that be the case, and feel free to throw ideas for that as Werewolves in my story are technically full on shapeshifters who don't know how to do more than one form (Do ask) so yeah, anyway to make a lifeform be vulnerable to silver will b appreciated) Now, I could just say 'magic' or that is just how their biology is and be done with that, but... that explanation makes me want to rip my eyes out, so I have come here to see that is not the case. Also, do please read my book, even if it is just to point out scientific errors. Would love that.
