    Fun fact, the “Quick” part of it is an old timey synonym of “Living”. So basically, Living Sand. It’s the same thing with Quick Silver (mercury).

      Is that why that movie was called “The Quick and the Dead”?

        Yeah, and apparently that phrase dates back to at least a 1526 translation of the Bible. It’s old.

        No, that’s when an immortal kills another immortal by beheading them and gain their powers.
