Hizagrium
Hizagrium, also known as Hizagkurr in the Underdark language, is a rare metal residing deep within the muddy pockets of the Underdark. Encountered naturally in a soft form similar to that of clay, Hizagrium must be refined through an arduous process that risks the metal permanently being stuck in its mud-like consistency. If successfully treated, the biological makeup of the ore changes to become more like that of a pale-silver metal, which could then be molded and reforged at the behest of the smith. However, Hizagrium metal could not be reforged to many times like other metals, as re-heated and over forging it can cause the metal to become brittle and return to its clay state permanently.
History & Usage
Everyday use
Hizagrium is known for its particularly powerful resistance and or containment of magical energy and electricity, which makes it a prime candidate for the metal used in the use of building Constructs. It allows the builder to build intricate designs without compromising the electrical and magical circuitry within the build, as Hizagrium's natural containing force allows for more opening and fluted designs that give more fluid movement and intraction.
Cultural Significance and Usage
Hizagrium is minded exclusively by Duergar and Underdark civilizations but is prized heavily by the dwarves and smiths who are aware of its properites.
