Elvirite
Many clerics of Paersy and Sar'Aya hope for a holy symbol of Elverite, but it is extremely pricey. It does not channel magic as well, so is not effective for enchanting, but a blade forged of it is supernaturally sharp. It can also gain properties from other magical materials it is exposed to, so it is sought after by adventurers.
It is difficult to work, requiring a smith of great skill. If your forge is too hot, the metal can explode, so be sure to keep it just above the temperature for iron. Once it is glowing a bright yellow, take it out of the forge and pour it into your mold. Do not use water to cool the mold, let it cool naturally. This will typically take 2 days, and it will be very hot until the end of that time.
