    I always imagined it as a faint green smoke coming out of the ears. This is much better

      I have to ask… Where… Where did you get that image from 🤣

      I guess copper is green when it rusts, and it kinda blocks senses…

      (Not taking the piss, it’s a great mental image I have now, just completely unexpected)

        I didn’t really read the books, I just listened on Audible, so I have a tendency to miss details.

        Yeah the green from the rust and since they are called “smokers” and they burn metals… the image of cartoon characters being so mad smoke comes out of their ears appeared in my mind’s eye whenever the books mentioned copper burning.
