unstable mana steel

Trade Good

Very Rare

A corruption of the gift from the heavens, unstable mana steel glows a dark red hue. while most of its properties are the same, such as mass and specific heat value, Its ability to float, create an electrical charge, and magic explosion has been amplified.

To put it simply, at normal room temperature it will have arcs of lightning racing across its surface, a visual that is quite indicative of what is happening inside.
When cold, it will not only float but it will actively push back against anyone or thing that tries to move it as though the metal itself was both sentient and spiteful.

Finally, if a pour soul is ever unlucky enough (or stupid enough) to try an heat the metal, it will cause a much bigger explosion than normal.
