Puresteel
There is little more wondrous or addicting than the feel of a Puresteel weapon in your hands. Few exist, and fewer still are lucky enough to wield them. But if you ever come across one, it will be a memory you cherish for a lifetime.

History & Usage
Everyday use
It can be enchanted to hold onto the moon's power for certain periods of time, or to release it at a specific rate, making it the perfect material for building magical technology. It is commonly used by powerful figures in Shalden to power magical technologies and decorate major buildings. A few legendary Puresteel weapons are known to exist as well.
Cultural Significance and Usage
Puresteel is found in Moonstone deposits, which are commonly thought to have come from the moon, making it extremely holy and sacred to followers of Vi-Serin.
It is used almost exclusively in Shalden, though its existence is known in the western half of Flindreck, and Puresteel artifacts are especially prized and coveted.
Industrial Use
Though a thin strand of puresteel can support more than a full grown man’s weight, its true power comes from something far more magical. Puresteel can channel the light of the moon, storing up its power and releasing it as quickly as its wielder prefers.
Refinement
Puresteel needs to be melted down and separated from Moonstone in order to be used properly, though unrefined ore will still store power in smaller doses.
