Ignan Brass

Found extensively in the elemental plane of fire and in the layer of Ysgard known as Muspelheim, Ignan brass is a metal that contains elemental fire. It is always hot to the touch—painfully so, requiring weapons made of the material to have special heat-resistant hilts if they are to be used by creatures that can't tolerate the heat. Ignan brass is a favorite of efreet and fire giants, used to make jewelery and art objects as much as weapons and armor.

Ignan brass has the following properties:

Ignan brass is always extremely hot, causing it to have the effect of a permanent heat metal spell (DC 13), though it does not glow.

Melee weapons and ammunition made of Ignan brass deal 1d8 extra fire damage.

Armor made of Ignan brass grants its wearer resistance to cold damage (though the wearer must find some magical means of circumventing the powerful heat, normal insulated padding is not sufficient to protect them from it).

A spellcaster that wields an arcane focus made of Ignan brass adds 1d8 to the fire damage to any spell that already has the damage type of fire.
