Alrighty, I'll get started, I suppose. Lots of Discord discussion over this one so far.
MithrilThis fantastic new development of adamantine has one purpose, and one purpose alone: Being a nigh-indestructible weapon of war. This new version of adamantine starts with the same spells, but trades the possibility of being made softer sheer hardness and toughness, as well as ease of creation. It can't be shattered, yet we will make it nearly as hard as diamonds. Our airships and Siroccos will be re-plated in enough to shrug off repeated cannon hits, and all our weapons will be made out of it. It is worked using the same spells as Adamantine is, yet it is different in those important ways. We shall make it shine gold, so it is a reflection of heavenly radiance. Plus, al-Mutriqa's been getting annoyed about the constant need to repaint his armor after he cuts down the heretics and nonbelievers and they scratch the gold paint.
Alrighty, so this is a revamped version of the earlier proposal. The basic point is to be cannon-resistant and capable of carving up crystals like butter. Or, you know, at least cutting down Arstotzkans left, right, and center. It is relatively easy, simple way to improve our warships, airships, and infantry. Also, it gives a basis for further improvements, like rapidly changing adamantine capable of changing shape, density, and strength on impact. But that's for the future. For now, this gives us a solid advantage in infantry combat, as well as preventing Arstotzkans from doing anything about our warships.
