Spell ore

This is an ore similar to iron, however it has a unique ability to hold and retain magical energy. Found mostly in the Cor Mountains, though smaller veins of it are occasionally found elsewhere, it is believed to be the most important factor in the rise of Old Primis.

While any material can be enchanted, most materials don't hold onto such energies for long and an enchanted item quickly returns to being mundane. An item with spell ore, or spellsteel as its known in its refined form, seems to be able to hold enchantments for an indefinite amount of time. On top of this weapons made with spellsteel never dull, and the material is stronger than most other metals. Few items are made entirely of spellsteel however, with weapons normally only having their cutting edges infused with it and other items simply being laced with it in their design.
