Blackwood

Blackwood is a very lightweight wood found primarily in oldgrowth softwood forests, such as the Blackwood Grove. It is dark as ebony, but develops a slight purple tint when treated with the proper alchemical process. This treatment process can draw out dormant magical properties.

Magical Properties

A blackwood item’s Bulk is reduced by 1 (or to light Bulk if its normal Bulk is 1, with no effect on an item that normally has light Bulk). The Price of an item made of darkwood is based on the item’s normal Bulk, not its reduced Bulk for being made of blackwood, but reduce the Bulk before making any further Bulk adjustments for the size of the item. please note this only occurs with treated blackwood.
