Cold Iron

Cold Iron, while not difficult to make, is difficult to obtain as a special material is needed to forge it properly. It can be made by taking ordinary iron and laying holly leaves on the hot iron before pounding it out with a hammer made of Ulvarhrim. This process needs to be repeated several times to ensure that the cold properties of the Ulvarhrim is imparted properly into the iron.

Properties

Material Characteristics

Cold Iron has the same physical properties as standard iron with the exception being that it is supernaturally cold to the touch at all times. It has the same dark grey appearance as standard wrought iron but upon closer inspection is laced with shimmering blue crystals throughout it. Due to the manner in which it is forged, it is incredibly difficult to melt. If it is melted, it loses its supernatural properties and returns to being standard iron.
