'''Orichalcos''', spelled '''Oreichalcos''' (オレイカルコス ''Oreikarukosu'') in the ''[[OCG]]'', is an [[anime-only|anime-exclusive]] [[series]] of cards used by [[Dartz]] and [[Rafael]] in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'']] anime. The series is based on [[wikipedia:Orihalcum|orichalcum]], a fictional metal featured in several ancient writings, including the story of [[Atlantis]] written in [[wikipedia:Plato|Plato's]] dialogue, ''[[wikipedia:Critias (dialogue)|Critias]]''. In the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' anime, the "Orichalcos" [[Field Spell Card]]s, when [[activate]]d, would trap the [[Duelist]]s within the seal and prevent them from escaping; the losing Duelist would lose their soul, which were then sacrificed to revive [[The Orichalchos Great Leviathan]]. In the Japanese version of the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' anime, the cards ' texts are written in the [[wikipedia:Enochian|Enochian]] language appearing in the circles, except for "[[Orichalcos Sword of Sealing]]", the only other "Orichalcos" card used by Rafael. In addition, the Field Spells all share the same effects, which includes increasing a monster's [[ATK]] by 500 and move monsters to the [[Spell & Trap Zone]], preventing them from being attacked. "[[Orichalcos Deuteros]]" is the stronger version of "The Seal of Orichalcos", which allows the player to gain 500 [[Life Point]]s for each monster they controlled and [[Tribute]] a series monster they control to destroy an opponent's monster. "[[Orichalcos Tritos]]" is the strongest form of the previous "Orichalcos" Field Spells, which negates the effects of cards that revolve around a card effect [[target]]ing the player's monsters. The Seal true strategy behind the series is to use the effects of the "Orichalcos" Field Spells and the revival effects of "[[OrichalcosGigas]]" to [[stall]] the opponent while using the effects of "[[Mirror Knight Calling]]" and "[[Mirror Knight Token]]s" to implement the attack force. All In addition, the effect of "[[Orichalcos Kyutora]]" is used to reduce [[battle damage]] to 0 and, upon being destroyed, [[Special Summon]] "[[Orichalcos Shunoros (anime)|Orichalcos Shunoros]]", "[[Orichalcos Aristeros]]" and "[[Orichalcos Dexia]]", and convert the battle damage to "Shunoros'" [[ATK]], while the cards were made for effects of "Aristeros" and only exist "Dexia" further increase "Shunoros'" ATK. The related "[[Divine Serpent Geh (anime)|Divine Serpent Geh]]" in the Anime season anime is used as a contingency plan in case "Shunoros" was destroyed. It featured ∞ ATK/[[Waking DEF]] and prevented the Dragonsplayer from losing the Duel; however, the player had to pay a heavy cost of sending 10 cards from the Deck to the [[Graveyard]]to attack. It So far, the only cards in the series released in the ''[OCG]]''/''[[TCG]]'' are "[[Orichalcos Shunoros]]" and "[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]". Prior to its release in ''[[Legendary Collection 3: Yugi's World]]'', the latter card was very likely inspired by not originally a legal card, while the fabled Atlantian metal former card was retooled as a [[Normal Monster]] [[wikipedia:Orichalcum|orichalcumsupport]]card. ==Origin==
