Like all of the ancestral elvish metals, it takes enchantment very well. It also inherently possesses an anti-magic property; arrows forged from it are able to dispel or pierce any protective wards that a target of theirs has active.
Items made of Zlakol are always considered masterwork. This is included in their prices below.
Weapons made of Zlakol are unheard of due to the extremely small quantities it can be made or found in, but should they exist they would likely confer the same effects as ammunition.
Armor made of Zlakol is unheard of due to the extremely small quantities it can be made or found in, but should it exist would likely give one outright immunity to spells and magical effects.
For Ammunition: Ammunition made of Zlakol automatically dispels any and all magical effects on a target when it hits them, even if they are only dispellable by a Mage's Disjunction or Wish Effect. They automatically break through any walls of force or similar magical barriers between the user and the target and destroy them. These arrows have no effect on magical items like Mage's Disjunction does, and do not deal actual weapon damage when they hit. Ammunition made of Zlakol is destroyed when it hits and dispels effects on a target.
Prices
Zlakol is not sold. It is one of the ancestral secret metals of the Elven people and is never sold even among their own number. Each Arrow or Ammunition made of Zlakol is so valuable as to be considered an artifact.
It is believed that if any non-elf or any creature not given express permission by the Crown were were known to be carrying any Zlakol, the elves would hunt them down and kill them to take back the metal.
