Like [[krodera]], '''kroderine''' is anti-magical in nature. Unlike krodera, kroderine absorbs magic rather than reflects it. As such, a weapon that is crafted of kroderine randomly dispels those that it is used on. At its base, kroderine handheld items (weapons/shields) dispel 1 spell, and worn items dispel (up to?) 7.

Like krodera, kroderine is anti-magical in nature. Unlike krodera, kroderine absorbs magic rather than reflects it. As such, a weapon that is crafted of kroderine randomly dispels those that it is used on. At its base, kroderine handheld items (weapons/shields) dispel up to 3 spells, and worn items dispel up to 5.

Kroderine appears fairly similar to steel in its natural state. It has a tendency to blacken over time as a side effect of its special magic-consuming properties, though this can be concealed with dye.

Items made of kroderine cannot be used by anyone that "cannot survive an attack by a dhu goleras," which is about level 80.

Holding a kroderine shield reduces the wearer's maximum mana by 50% and provides a 15% chance to absorb an offensive spell. Wearing kroderine armor reduces maximum mana to 0 and provides a 30% chance to absorb an offensive spell. Wielding both results in them attempting to absorb the offensive spell in sequence beginning with the shield. Combined, they provide a ~40.5% chance to absorb an offensive spell.

Items

Kroderine was released during Ebon Gate, in the year 5106; one longsword was released (a blackened kroderine longsword with a heavily enruned hilt). The only kroderine known to be in adventurer's hands was used to disable a complex series of magical wards created by the Hall of Mages to protect the Venquinor household in Solhaven in 5108.

At the Ebon Gate auction in the year 5109, a blackened kroderine full plate and a pitch-black kroderine aegis were available on the auction block. A few kroderine items have been made available via raffle or prizes in subsequent Ebon Gate festivals, as well as Droughtman's Challenge. Base kroderine items were available at the high end scrip shop at Duskruin Arena in April 2017.

Enhancements

Kroderine items cannot be enchanted or otherwise magically enhanced through most means, as the material absorbs the magic instantly.

  • Kroderine cannot be enchanted by Enchant (925), the premium points system, merchant services, or Duskruin enchant certs.
  • Kroderine items cannot be loresung by bards. If a bard does attempt to sing to it, the item stuns them and drains all of their mana. The bard will not be able to regain mana for approximately ten minutes.
  • Kroderine can have banes added to it.

Absorbing loresinging: 

The magic of your song begins to penetrate the kroderine full plate when something goes horribly wrong!  The normally faint resonating vibration is instead a cacophonous roar that not only readily consumes the magic of your song, but also begins to work its way into your very being.  Your mana is ripped away from you in an instant as you collapse to the ground, drained and feeling a horrible emptiness inside you!

Roundtime: 30 sec.
