Weapons & Armor Special Materials & Magical Properties
Not every item is made of the same material. Every sword isn’t steel. Every suite of full plate isn’t mithral. Below is a list of Special Materials to make Magic Items or even Mundane Arms & Armor more interesting! Plus, find extra Magical Weapon Properties and Magic Armor Properties that go beyond the DMG and Player’s Handbook defaults.

Special Materials for Magic Items or Mundane Arms & Armor
| # | Material | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Abysium | This glowing, blue-green substance can be a source of great energy. It also causes those who spend extended amounts of time near it to grow ill and die unless proper precautions are taken. Abysium functions as steel when used for weapons and armor, but those who carry or wear abysium arms or armor become sickened for as long as the gear is carried or worn. Likewise, those in an area with heavy concentrations of abysium become sickened for as long as they remain in the area. This is a poison effect. | |
| Abyssal Bloodiron | Made of blood-soaked iron from the depths of the Abyss. A weapon of Abyssal Bloodiron counts a roll of a 19 or 20 as a critical hit. | |
| Adamantine | Adamantine is extremely strong and favored by weapon and armor smiths alike for its ability to cut through solid barriers with ease and endure heavy blows. Weapons fashioned from adamantine have a natural ability to bypass hardness when sundering weapons or attacking objects, ignoring hardness less than 20. (Pathfinder or D&D 3.5) | |
| Adamantine, Black (Ptolus) | Black adamantine was only ever found in one place: in a mound located in the region occupied by the Cold Desert today. All the black adamantine that exists has been mined and usedno more can be found occurring naturally. It has the same qualities as adamantine except that it also proves resistant to spells or magical effects that would damage or affect it (like disintegrate or even passwall) with a spell resistance of 25. Further, those in the know (Knowledge [arcana], DC 30) can use a wish spell to make black adamantine completely impervious to physical force or spells. Black adamantine is worth three times as much as normal adamantine. | |
| Aethel (Ptolus) | One of the rarest and most valuable substances in Ptolus isnt a drug or a weapon, its a mineral. Aethel was discovered in this region, named, and experimented upon by the Elder Elves in the time of the titans, five thousand years ago. In many ways, it is the opposite of Vallis (see page 47). While the greenish stone of the absent moon is a natural power source on its own, the clear crystals of aethel absorb magical energy and even light. | |
| Alchemical Silver | ||
| Angelskin | Evil. The skin of an angel. | |
| Asbestos Cloth | Asbestos cloth will not catch on fire and armor constructed from asbestos cloth provides resistance to fire and heat. Asbestos clothing and cloth armor composed primarily of asbestos is immune to fire damage and is never at risk of catching on fire. However, this property only imparts fire resistance 5 to the wearer. | |
| Astral Driftmetal | Metal mined from floating matter in the Astral Plane. Weapons made of this material count as magical weapons for the purposes of overcoming the damage resistances of incorporeal creatures. | |
| Aszite | The twin ores of aszite and druchite are found only on the Shadow Plane. These ores are highly sought after for structural construction, as well as for their use in enhancing armor and weapons. | |
| Aurorum | This material is luminous and gleams with pink and indigo. Weapons or armor made of Aurorum fully heal themselves within 1 minute after taking damage or being destroyed. Taking Lightning damage disables this property for 5 minutes. If destroyed while its properties are disabled, the object will not reform. | |
| Baatorian Green Steel | Weapons forged of this Hellish material cost 1000 more gp than normal because of the materials exclusivity to devils. The iron alloy is flecked with green and mined by enslaved souls in Baator. Magic weapons made of Baatorian Green Steel cause creatures it hits to bleed for 1d2 additional damage at the start of its turn after being hit with the weapon. Creatures that dont have blood and undead are unaffected by this property. | |
| Basalt, Magic Bridge | ||
| Black Adamantine (Ptolus) | Black adamantine was only ever found in one place in a mound located in the region occupied by the Cold Desert today. All the black adamantine that exists has been mined and usedno more can be found occurring naturally. It has the same qualities as adamantine except that it also proves resistant to spells or magical effects that would damage or affect it like disintegrate or even passwall) with a spell resistance of 25. Further, those in the know Knowledge [arcana], DC 30) can use a wish spell to make black adamantine completely impervious to physical force or spells. Black adamantine is worth three times as much as normal adamantine. | |

| Blood Iron | This rust-red metal is a special form of steel (despite the name) that is infused with blood in the forging process, usually that of a ritualistically- sacrificed and oftentimes sacred animal such as a rooster or bull; in evil societies or particularly- desperate situations, a human sacrifice might be used. | |
| Bluewood | Magically treated wood that is as hard as steel. It doesnt change the properties of a steel weapon or armor, but it can be used by a druid without penalty. Bluewood items cost 600 gp more than a regular steel counterpart. | |
| Bone | Any bone from any animal. Maybe the bone isnt normal white, but some other color, or flecked with strange inlays. | |

| Druchite | The black-and-violet ore known as druchite is synonymous with Shadow Absaloms towering spires. The ore is so dark that even creatures that are adapted to see in lightless conditions can have extreme difficulty perceiving it. Druchite ore can be worked into armor and weapons by applying it in delicate veins or inlaid patterns across the equipment. Druchite-veined armor grants the wearer additional defenses against creatures with darkvision. The wearer always benefits from a 10% miss chance while in an area of dim light or darkness, even if she is perceived by a creature using darkvision. The twin ores of aszite and druchite are found only on the Shadow Plane. | |
| Dwarven Stone | ||
| Eel Hide | ||
| Firestone (Ptolus) | The mineral known as firestone can be created only through magic. It burns with great efficiency, which causes technologists to desire it greatly to fuel their devices. This small stone weighs 1 lb. and can burn hotly for twenty-four hours. It is used to power some of the equipment described in Chapter 29 Technology. | |
| Gehennan Morghuth Iron | Gehennan Morghuth Iron is terrible to craft with often appearing pocked and pitted) but weakens those whose wounds are exposed to it.

| Heliothil (Ptolus) | Heliothil is a pale violet stone that has negative weight. A stone that should weigh about 1 lb. has in fact 5 lbs. of negative weight. This means that, if a piece of pure heliothil were unsecured, it would fall upward at a great rate and disappear into the sky. However, it also means that securing 5 lbs. of normal material to the 1 lb. bit of heliothil renders the normal material effectively weightless. The heliothil and attached material float in midair. | |

| Inubrix | ||
| Iron | ||
| Iron, Cold | This iron, mined deep underground and known for its effectiveness against demons and fey creatures, is forged at a lower temperature to preserve its delicate properties. Weapons made of cold iron cost twice as much to make as their normal counterparts. Also, adding any magical enhancements to a cold iron weapon increases its price by 2,000 gp. This increase is applied the first time the item is enhanced, not once per ability added. A double weapon with one cold iron half costs 50% more than normal. Items without metal parts cannot be made from cold iron. An arrow could be made of cold iron, but a quarterstaff could not. (Pathfinder or D&D 3.5) | |
| Iron, Gehennan Morghuth | ||
| Iron, Primal | ||
| Ironwood | ||
| Ithildin & Ithilnaur (Ptolus) | The elves know of many special minerals, materials, and herbs. In particular, they are known for two metals ithildin a decorative silver that glows at night but is dull and almost invisible during the day) and ithilnaur a thin, strong material with the same properties as ithildin). Both metals glow is equal to candlelight. Ithildin is like silver but costs twice as much. Ithilnaur is like mithral but costs twice as much. | |
| Lead-Lined | ||
| Linite | ||
| Liquid Light (Ptolus) | In the earliest days of creation, when air, earth, fire, and water did not yet possess their final states, sunlight shone into pockets of air that eventually became trapped deep underground. This air turned naturally into liquid light as a result of tremendous good done in the world; the residue seeps up from the depths of the earth and takes on a physical substance. Thus, deep in the earth one can encounter pools of bright sunlight, preserved forever as a thick, milky liquid. One pint of this fluid is the equivalent of a daylight spell that never fades. One can use liquid light to enhance spells with either the light or good descriptor either way, the spell gains both descriptors when cast). A pint of the material used as a spell component modifies a spell so that it is cast two levels higher than normal, with a +2 bonus to the saving throw DC to resist. Liquid light inflicts damage to evil-aligned outsiders and undead if used as a splash weapon one pint inflicts 3d6 points of damage; full immersion inflicts 20d6 points of damage). It heals good outsiders and blessed children in like amounts. Liquid light is worth 1,000 gp per pint and is usually found only in amounts of six to ten pints at a time. | |
| Liquid Shadow (Ptolus) | Liquid shadow is a vile substance that pools in the darkest corners of the worldusually at the heartrock of a massive mountain or in a cave at the bottom of the deepest lake. It exists naturally as a result of evil done in the world; the residue seeps into the earth and takes on a physical substance in the deep darkness. One can use liquid shadow to enhance spells with either the shadow or evil descriptor either way, the spell gains both descriptors when cast). A pint of the material used as a spell component modifies a spell so that it is cast two levels higher than normal, with a +2 bonus to the saving throw DC to resist. Liquid shadow is worth 1,000 gp per pint and is usually found only one or two pints at a time. | |
| Maritime Quartz | ||
| Marlite (Ptolus) | Magic Dead Blue Steel. Marlite shines like blue-tinted iron and can be processed into a metal as hard and resilient as steel. Marlite is far more valuable than steel, however, for its secondary property. Marlite is a magic-dead material. It has no natural magic within it, and it cannot be affected by spells, magic items, or spell-like abilities. In effect, it has an infinite amount of spell resistance. A sword made of marlite couldnt be affected by a heat metal spell, nor could it be magically disintegrated. No one could move it with telekinesis. This means, of course, that magic cant affect it in beneficial ways, eitherit couldnt receive a magic weapon or keen weapon spell. It could not be given magical properties or an enhancement bonus. Armor made of marlite gives the wearer no special properties. Spells can still affect the wearer, just not the armor directly. An item made with marlite instead of iron or steel costs ten times the normal price. | |
| Mawine | ||
| Mindglass | ||
| Mithral | Mithral is a very rare silvery, glistening metal that is lighter than steel but just as hard. (Pathfinder or D&D 3.5) | |
| Mithral, Celestial | ||
| Moonsilver (Ptolus) | Called ithilirid by the elves, this metal is always found in liquid form, looking not unlike mercury. One can use it to coat a solid surface, to which it then adheres, protecting the surface as if it were made of iron. The surface retains all normal flexibility. Thus, one could apply it to a person to grant him the benefits of wearing armor +4, +6, or +8 armor bonus to Armor Class, depending on how much is available) with none of armors drawbacksno armor check penalty, maximum Dexterity, or spell failure chance. The effects of moonsilver are as fleeting as the moons reign in the night sky, however. The substance fades away approximately four hours after it adheres to a surface. Moonsilver costs depend on the amount of the substance. Enough for a +4 armor bonus costs 200 gp; +6 costs 400 gp; and +8 costs 600 gp. You cannot use a partial dose or multiple doses. | |

| Skybough Amber | ||
| Skymetal Alloys | ||

| Stygian Ice | Black ice harvested from Stygia, the fifth layer of Hell. Contact or damage from Stygian Ice deals 1d6 bonus cold damage, and also causes the victim to make a DC 11 WIS save or have its WIS score lowered by 2 until it finishes a long rest. A creature whose WIS is lowered to 0 in this way dies and rises as a Wraith in 2d4 rounds. Weapons made of this material are fragile and have AC of 13 and HP of 8. The ice melts slowly in above-freezing temperatures, taking 1 damage each hour and emitting a foul vapor as it melts. | |
| Sunsilver | ||
| Thinaun | A dark glittering steel that absorbs souls slain with weapons forged from it. If the wielder is slain while holding the weapon, the wielders soul becomes trapped in the weapon. If a soul is already inside of the Thinaun weapon when it tries to absorb a soul, the previous soul is released to the afterlife. A creature whose soul is trapped in the Thinaun weapon cannot be resurrected unless the caster of the resurrection spell wields the weapon. Fiends and other such creatures can extract a trapped soul for their own purposes, meaning it can be used as a bargaining tool for those who traffic in souls. | |
| Transcendental Bronze | ||
| True Ice | ||
| Uliun | ||
| Umbrite | ||
| Urdrukar | Armor forged with this metal weigh 5 pounds heavier and have their max DEX modifier reduced by 1, if applicable. However, it also grants the wearer advantage on saving throws against being viewed or detected remotely by divination spells. | |
| Vallis (Ptolus) | One speck of Vallis can power a number of levels of spells cast by any class of spellcaster, as determined by the size of the speck. Most range from one to six spell levels in capacity. (Treat a 0-level spell as the equivalent of a half level.) As the piece of Vallis is used, it diminishes. So, if a bit of Vallis dust with a four-spell-level capacity powers a 2nd-level spell, it still can power either another 2nd-level spell or two 1st-level spells, but it grows noticeably smaller. Exhausted Vallis disappears entirely. | |

D&D: Five Ways To Make A +1 Sword Memorable by J.R. Zambrano
I don’t want to plagiarize their entire article, but just in case it disappears from the internet for some reason, here are the cliff notes & highlights.
1) Unique History or Origin
You can make a +1 sword a part of your world by giving it a specific backstory. Was it of elven make and, like Sting, glows blue whenever orcs are near? But there are other questions that go into the story of your sword: who made it, why did they make it, who used it before, what is it made out of?
Huh… I wonder where you could get a huge list of special materials and extra properties? Scroll up!
2) Enlarge Your World
Think about past kingdoms and civilizations the item might be from, what it means now. Maybe the sword fits into an ancient slot to unlock something long forgotten?
3) Minor Effect or Magical Property
Not talking about always adding a direct combat bonus, but think about Sting glowing blue when orcs are around. There is a long list of magical properties for your weapons and armor above, but these game play effects are only limited by your imagination.
You could also do some annoying (translation: hilarious) effects. For example, I had a DM once give us a very powerful sword… which was terrified of open spaces. If any room was larger than 30×30, or gods forbid we were outside, it would completely freak out.
4) It’s Not Just A Sword, It’s A Symbol
Again, thinking beyond something just being a weapon or another magical suit of armor. Who owned the item before? What did they do with it? How did it wind up where it was found? Would anyone recognize this weapon now? Yes! If someone took the time to craft a magical item, then you can bet your gold booty that they made it special.
5) You’re Not The Only One Who Wants This
Not every item is tied to a long forgotten kingdom. Maybe someone lost the item last week, and they want it back. If its a weapon or armor the finder is seen with, it would be pretty easy for you to have them encounter the NPC who died in the armor but was resurrected.
