[QUOTE="Kemrain, post: 1794794, member: 12153"] In the game I play in, Mithral is a fantastically rare mineral found underground. The Dwarves mine it, but other races avoid it, for it has some very strange properties. It can only me smelted and forged using special Elven techniques, which the Dwarves grudgingly utelize, for Mithral gives off an Anti-Magic field. When crafted into Armor, this amazingly light metal provides it's wearer with Spell Resistance. The downside, however, is that the armor must be removed for the owner to recieve beneficial spells; there is no way to turn the effect off. Mithral items, logically, can never be enchanted. (As far as we know!) The Dwarves trade Mithral to the Elves, one of the few contacts they have with them. Adamantine is different, too. It can be found all over the surface of the planet, however, it has a strong reaction to sunlight, crumbling to a worthless rust-like black dust. Adamantine deep in the earth is an amazingly strong metal, practically requiring magical means of smelting and forging. Adamantine has a hardness of 20, weighs 1/4 as much as steel, and holds a keen edge almost indefinately. An Adamantine blade cuts through stone and steel as easily as through flesh and bone, ignoring hardness under 20. The Black Elves have control of the only forges capable of producing Adamantine, a fact that has caused unending war under the mountains with the Dwarven nation. - Kemrain the Xeno-Metalurgist [/QUOTE]
