Dark Iron
Dark iron is an illustrious dark-grey metal of roughly the same weight as tempered steel. While possessing most of the properties attributed to ordinary iron, dark iron has the unique property of rebuking magical energies, preventing such effects from passing through it.
Armors and shields fashioned from dark iron can diffuse incoming spell energy, granting half their total AC bonus (before enhancement bonuses, rounded down) as a bonus to touch AC against spells.
Weapons fashioned from dark iron can likewise repels sunder magic. Attacks made with a dark iron weapon are always considered magical, bypassing DR/magic, even if the weapon is effectively mundane. Furthermore, on a natural 20, a dark iron forged weapon triggers a dispel effect upon the target, repelling a single ongoing magical effect currently active on its being.
Dark iron armor has double the cost of a masterwork armor of its kind, plus 1,000 gp per point of AC bonus it has, excluding any magical enhancement bouns. Dark iron weapons have the cost of a masterwork weapon +3,000 gp.
Dark iron has 25 hit points per inch of thickness and hardness 12.
