----
White alloy was originally the failed attempt to create a cheap permanently blessed material. However, it was recently discovered that, when properly blended, this alloy is anathema to the cursed shades and undead spirits that haunt Elanthia. Undead spirits struck by a white alloy weapon take extra damage and are temporarily anchored to the mortal plane when slain. Undead spirits recoil from white alloy armor and shields, making it harder for them to damage those bearing such equipment.

White alloy is considered a magical metal and can be used to craft weapons, armor, and shields. However, it is unsuitable for bows, staves, claidhmores, and katanas. It has a natural enchantment of +20. It can not be dyed.

In addition to that, it's non-corporeal undead bane, which means its +8 damage weighting and doesn't require a bless to hit non-corporeal undead. When it does hit non-corporeal undead, it anchors their spirit, preventing them from instantly decaying. It does require a bless to hit corporeal undead.

The new metal, white alloy, will be released in Rumor Woods. You can look for it in the shop, Devout Alloy.

White alloy is an alloy of vultite, white ora, and eonake. As such, it's intended to be sanctified. I'll be making an update to automatically correct that property on any white alloy weapons that went out without that property. However, at the same time, I'm also making another update that will allow Bless (304) and Symbol of Bless to work on naturally holy materials (which is just white ora, eonake, and white alloy for now). The net result is clerics and paladins can bless such items for holy water flares and non-clerics/paladins will be able to get such weapons blessed to be used against the undead.
