Adamantine

Adamantine is an extremely hard, black metal. In its finished form, adamantine metal reflects a clear green sheen under candlelight, and purple-white under magical light.
Adamantine weighs as much as steel. It is ferromagnetic like steel, and vulnerable to a rust monster's grasp.
Unprocessed adamantine, termed adamant by some sages, is hard but brittle, and unsuitable for use as a weapon. It has a glossy black appearance, and has the unique property that reflections seen in it glow with rainbow edges. Once it has been cooled, adamantine cannot be deformed or bent by mundane means. Weapons made from adamantine do not dull or chip with use.

History & Usage

Refinement

Adamantine is said to be so dense and difficult to manipulate that there are few craftsmen who can properly create with it. Most often, it takes a well-trained Dwarf or other subterranean species to craft it.
