Properties

Material Characteristics

Weird ivory gains its name from its superficial resemblance of regular ivory. Naturally growing in curved conic shapes, reminiscent of an elephant's tusk, it has a yellowish off-white color; when exposed to air for long periods of time, it grows an outer layer of fine dark yellow grains which can be easily scraped off with a chisel (or a blade).
Prolonged exposure to air eventually destroys weird ivory, at a rate of approximately 10 pounds a year, but can degrade faster depanding on surface area. If scraped off and properly treated, the grains serve as a conductive agent for spells called Residual Wierd Ivory, making it a common ingredient in a variety of other materials such as Dark Metal.
The aforementioned proper treatment includes grounding the grains to powder, recrystallizing it in a special solution, breaking the crystal, and then grounding it again. This process may be repeated several times, with intermittent periods of exposure to extreme temperatures (-130 to 550 degrees Celsius).
