Cobalt
Cobalt, in its raw form, is a blueish silver metal often mistaken for platinum or true silver. When the third moon of Stendaaris, Zephyr'Lyra, was destroyed, it scattered remnants that altered the properties of materials found in its wake. Among these was Cobalt, which gained unique magical properties due to the cataclysmic event. Cobalt is now highly sought after for creating magical weapons and tools.
