Chalchimate (Kal Kim ahtA)

Not quite a metal, not quite a crystal, Chalchimate is a material found in the Nethyr that is used to make weapons and armor that are invisible to the naked eye when worn or held. Weapons made with this material are hard to see, giving its wielder advantage on hits. Armor made with this material allows its wielder to turn invisible for 3 turns.

Properties

Material Characteristics

Chalchimate is a material that has properties similar to both crystals and metal. It can be shaped like metal, but it never loses its edge. However, it can be easily cracked by bludgeoning weapons.

History & Usage

History

Chalchimate has been used since prehistory by the Elemental folk of the Nethyr.

Everyday use

It is commonly used to make weapons and armor, as well as clear furniture, mirrors, and camouflaged siding.

Cultural Significance and Usage

Chalchimate is commonly used by the Yk'alinne, Will o' Wisps, Ul'glaith, Arach'nai, Tembroitae, and Primalaeus. Craev'r also sometimes use this material, but prefer to trade it.

Reusability & Recycling

Due to its composite nature, it can be reforged as long as you have enough replacement material.

Distribution

Trade & Market

Craev'r often come to the surface with wares from their Nethyrial home. This material often makes its way via these traders, though it is an uncommon sight in Eveynjar and Valoreum.

Storage

It is often stored in the dark, as leaving it out in the light will cause the Chalchimate to charge up its camouflaging ability.

Law & Regulation

It is illegal to possess an unregistered Chalchimate blade in many nations due to it being a weapon common in assassinations. However, as long as it is registered, most nations don't care if a PC has one in their possession.
