'''Handwavium''' is a chemical element that exhibits unusual physical and chemical properties.

Numerous practical applications for handwavium exist in the fields of {{wp|energy industry|energy}}, {{wp|electrical engineering}}, {{wp|medicine}}, and industrial chemistry, and novel applications for the marvelous substance continue to be investigated and discovered by the world's leading chemists.
==History==
Handwavium ore was known to ancient civilisations by various names, including ''lapis mirabilis'' in classical Latin and ''oğosilkev'' in High Coscivian. Prized for its appealing colour and extreme rarity, the stone was traded far and wide and crafted into jewellery for only the wealthiest rulers and magnates of the ancient world.

Elemental handwavium was first extracted from handwavium ore in [YEAR] by [[Séamus Corcoran]], a [[Fiannrian]] natural philosopher and {{wp|gentleman scientist}}.
==Occurence==
Economically viable deposits of handwavium ore have been discovered in:
*[[Daxia]]
*[[Sydona Islands]], particularly the eastern isles.
*[[Urceopolis (Archduchy)|The Archduchy of Urceopolis]]
*The [[Vandarch]] (in smaller seabed deposits)
*[[Farmandie]]
