+Mithral ore appears as a silver-and-black mineral in its natural form, and becomes a shining silvery-blue when it is forged. Mithral is produced through a process similar to that of steel-smelting. Items cast from mithral weigh only half as much as similar items forged from steel. Since pieces of armor made from this valuable metal were very light, they allowed the wearer to make better use of their natural agility and were less restrictive on spellcasting. Among some bardic circles it was said that mithral combined with steel could create adamantine, but according to dwarves this claim was laughable. It was believed by some that dwarves simply did not wish to perform this difficult feat of metallurgy for anyone outside their race, unless they possessed an exceptionally good reason

+Adamantine is a jet-black alloy of adamant and other metals. Usually black in color, adamantine has a green sheen when viewed by candlelight or a purple-white sheen when viewed by magical light. It was found only in veins of ore near earth nodes and areas of faerzress in the Underdark. Adamantine is extremely difficult to produce, requiring high forging temperatures and a very delicate procedure. As an alloy, it is composed of five parts adamant, two parts silver, and one part electrum. Most smiths that specialized in producing adamantine were dwarves It is also possible to produce adamantine as an alloy of mithral and steel through the application of several magical procedures, although the process to do so is exceedingly complex.
