Forum:Burning copper

Any theories about what smells like? I remember when Gil was about to call down the lightning, Selnikov said the air felt greasy, which I'm kinda thinking is not really a thing, but is a made-up opposite of the effect an has.

When I search for "burning copper" I get articles how it's a bad idea to burn insulated copper wire. (You would do this to obtain the copper for recycling, but it's illegal because of the lead and whatnot in the insulation or whatever else is released when plastic burned. The right thing is either to mechanically strip the wire, or just turn it in with the insulation.)

Probably has nothing to do with the cyberpunk story "Burning Chrome".

Probably is just that the sword is made of copper and is burning, but it's bugging me.
