Ruwa (rhew)

Ruwa is an odd metal that is found in the Elemental Plane of Water. It is a metal that can morph freely between a liquid and solid state while still retaining its properties. It is very rare to find a smith capable of working this unique material as there is none other like it on the material plane. The secret to forging this material into a useful form lies in the utilization of another material; Ulvarhrim. The use of Ulvarhrim tools forces the material to maintain a solid state long enough to be worked properly into its desired form. Once refined properly it will constantly drip water no matter the form it is in.
