Lower the output index of the structure constants of a Lie algebra with its Killing form. The Lie bracket makes the result antisymmetric in the first two indices, while invariance gives κ([ta​,tb​],tc​)=κ(ta​,[tb​,tc​]), making it antisymmetric in the last two indices. These two adjacent transpositions imply total antisymmetry. Nondegeneracy of the Killing form is unnecessary.
