Mundane Materials


Mundane Materials

NameSummary
Aligned CrystalA type of crystal that is especially easy to move telepathically.
CeramiteA fire resistant clay ceramic which has been hardened and augmented through alchemical means, ceramite is a potent defense against fire, and a potent destroyer of fire-based creatures.
ConjetiumMore commonly known as blood steel or "demon rust", Conjetium is most easily recognized for it's signature red sheen and the odd, sharp smell that accompanies it.
Dark IronIron from the depths of the world, forged by the duergar in their war against the surface.
Dark PlatinumPitch black with a smooth matte surface, dark platinum is completely indestructible to mortal means.
DarklightCrafted out of the depleted remains of radioactive materials (or rarely, sometimes still radioactive materials), darklight items are very heavy and very dense.
Dead IronIt is said that when Cold Iron is prepared within zones devoid of magic, such as in an antimagic field, with proper care the cold iron's connection to the mystical realm deadens further, resulting in a dangerous bane against all things magical.
GeometriumIn the vast planes of law amidst metal gears and living machines lies a strange material not quite matter and not quite energy.
GossamerA strong, resilient, fire-resistant fabric. Gossamer comes in two grades: thin and heavy.
Meteoric IronIron from a meteorite that radiates heat naturally, and is infused with otherworldly properties.
NetherackIn the depths of certain underworlds, netherack burns brightly illuminating the lightless caves of the dead.
NeutraliteAn acid resistant alchemical material which has been solidified into a solid whole, neutralite is a potent defense against acidity, and a potent destroyer of earth-based creatures.
NeutraliumBy the great spire in the outlands which robs the powers of even the gods, smaller crystaline spires grow naturally at its base. The powers of the universe meet and cancel each other out, leaving a crystal composed of raw neutrality.
NullsteelAn inky black metal with a dull luster, nullsteel is in most applications simply a black-colored steel. However, it is almost totally immune to magic and psionics, and can even dispel them in the right circumstances.
ObsidianObsidian is a glassy black material known for its incredible sharpness, tending itself to slashing and piercing weapons.
OnyxThis lusterous black stone seems to darken the air around it and vibrate with a terrible energy. It is best used for weapon and armor for necromancers due to the resonance it has for necromantic energies.
OrichalcumA legendary metal alloy from ancient times, capable of absorbing, deflecting and enhancing the flow of magic.
PearlAn ideal material for use in aquatic environments.
ProteumA nigh-indestructible metal of extreme hardness and density that catalyzes raw magial power.
ResistiteA electric resistant composite material which has been crafted into a solid whole, resistite is a potent defense against electricity, and a potent destroyer of air-based creatures.
ShadowskinWoven from threads of quasireality torn from the Plane of Shadow, shadowskin is an expensive fabric highly valued by those who stalk in the darkness.
Spell AmberWhen a Living Spell is slain, the residue that is left behind hardens into a material called spell amber.
SuncrystIn the highest mountains and the brightest lights of the upper plains forms suncryst, holy power crystalized in pools of holy water.
ThermatiteA cold resistant solidified alchemical substance which has been molded and stabilized into rock, thermatite is a potent defense against cold, and a potent destroyer of water-based creatures.
VileboneIn the deepest depths of Hades the weight of the entire plane and countless souls press upon each other. The souls lost to the Gray Wasting become little more than objects, barely alive, and are crushed into a dense material pseudomatter called Vilebone.
Winter Wolf PeltThe fur of the winter wolf, when carefully treated and removed, keeps a small amount of its powers. Items made of a winter wolf's pelt are furry or have patches of the soft white fur
YlemwaterIn the depths of limbo chaotic storms of proto-matter brew. Rarely the chaos of the storm works against itself, forming a stable but eternally brewing maelstrom of matter.
