Mithril

Properties

Material Characteristics

Mithril ore appeared as a silver-and-black mineral in its natural form, and became a shining silvery-blue when it was forged.

Physical & Chemical Properties

Items cast from mithril weighed only half as much as similar items forged from steel. Since pieces of armor made from this valuable metal were very light, they allowed the wearer to make better use of their natural agility and were less restrictive on spellcasting.
