Lumenite

Lumenite is a rare material created and used by various light aligned factions throughout Taeva, most notably te Wardens of the Radiant Shield and the Church of the Radiant Saints. Forged from Ithyrian Silver imbued with Light-aligned Divine Magic, Luminite has become known for its light weight, toughness, and enhanced ability to channel light magic (divine and arcane), as well as its resilience to decay from both mundane and magical sources, particularly necromancy and Malice. It's thanks to these qualities, as well as the skill and time required to create it, that have made Lumenite such a highly valued material, reserved only for the forging of the most significant of light-aligned artifacts.

Properties

Material Characteristics

Lumenite has a smooth, metallic sheen to it, and is silvery-white in colour.

Physical & Chemical Properties

Lumenite has the same hardness and light weight as Ithyrian Silver, and is especially good at channeling light-based magic, both divine and arcane. Additionally, due to the usage of Divine Light Magic in its creation, Lumenite not only never rusts, but is also almost completely immune to curropting magical effects, particularly those originating from Necromancy or Malice, and is particularly effective at dispelling such magics.

Lumenite is created from Ithyrian Silver, a metal known for its ability to conduct magic better than any other.
