the steelite should be called steelium and the steelite ore should be called steelite since "-ite" is typically used for minerals and "-ium" is usually used for elements.

I feel privileged to know this, thanks!
I mean, of course it's not realistic, but I do like to bend around reality a little bit. Steelite is the only one I wanted to coy with something familiar, however the rest are totally alien of course. I didnt want to make a recipe of 10 carbon and 50 hydrogen, in order to make a bed, or something, I felt like the obvious caveats with reality are too stark and just giving things a totally imaginary name sort of takes the edge off and allows it to be more free.
However, that was clearly a show of my ignorance you caught! well done :)
