Magical forces may spontaneously create magical objects. These conditions can also produce Magically Potent Materials which require Alchemy to activate.[1]
Some examples[]
- Adamant: a crystalline stone that is harder than any natural substance
- All-Heal: mistletoe berries have magical healing powers[note 1]
- Dragon’s Blood: "Drinking the blood of a dragon grants the ability to understand the speech of animals, as described in the Volsunga Saga."
- Moly: a rare plant whose flower protects against direct spells (+5 Magic Resistance). It has no effect on area spells.
- Orichalcum: Metal that Plato said was mined in Atlantis. While Plato doesn't state the properties of Orichalcum a version useful for weapons and other items is provided. It is a third the weight of Bronze but has three times the DR, hit points, and structural strength. Weapons made of Orichalcum count as fine or very fine quality. Orichalcum's durability cannot be improved via magic though other spells can be placed on it.
