Voidwood

This dark, mysterious wood is obtained from the heart of shadowy realms. Ships constructed with Voidwood have the ability to phase in and out of the Material Plane, rendering them partially intangible and difficult to target. Weapons crafted from Voidwood can temporarily send targets into the void, leaving them in a state of temporal suspension.
Used in Weapons Banishes the target to the Shadowfell on a critical hit, requiring a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or be banished for 1 minute.
Used in Armor Allows the wearer to cast the Misty Step spell once per short rest.
Used in Spell Focus Enables the casting of one additional spell of 1st or 2nd level per long rest.
Used in Vehicles Renders the ship partially intangible, making it difficult to target, providing a +2 bonus to the ship's AC against attacks.
