This is the effect of iron on the skin of elves ass Keiru Emerald, Cobalt and I have discussed, with some additions from myself.

Iron is harmful to elves. That much is one-hundred percent certain. Iron is a banal metal, and elves are magical in and of themselves. However, the more fair and noble an elf is, the more iron can affect them. This ranges from blinding pain, blisters, and scars to discomforting pain that is treatable. Most elves, averagely fair and noble, feel strong pains that are very distracting, sort of like medium strength acids on the skin... kind of imperceptable at first, but it can burn the skin and if contact is prolonged, can scar and cause extreme pain.

Til'Sylvanna is both extremely fair and extremely noble. In this respect, iron is like the black plague... she is not friendly handling iron. Saeth is almost as bad, since he is VERY noble, and a bit less fair. Nelcar is about averagely fair and noble, as is Finrandel.

Half-elves and quarter elves, the rare few that exist, are also slightly affected by iron. It mostly just causes discomfort, like giving the touching body part the prickly feeling similar to your leg falling asleep, then waking up again. Obviously, half-elves feel it more so than quarter elves, and the degree is based upon the nobility and fairness of the elven parent.

Question:

How precisely is the nobility and fairness of John Q. Aelf determined?

Naturally, we'd seek out bloodlines for nobility, but fairness is most obviously a matter of opinion. Also, as magical sentients in and of themselves, would not a particularly aptly magical elf be affected as well, though they may not be particularly noble or fair in the general eye? Of course, I'm not expecting some kind of equation, but such a generalization is bewildering.

All elves are magical... so there's not really one more magically gifted elf than another.

It's all really up the the writter to decide how fair they are. But, noblilty is determined by your Salurion blood, and your cast in society.
