'''Invar''', often called '''dwarven steel''', is an alloy of various non-magical metals and is therefore not magical in nature. The makeup of invar and the process to create it is a closely guarded secret. Many smiths even regard it as a metal all into its own, dispite the fact that it is an alloy.<ref>Material Guide, [http://www.play.net/gs4/info/armory/materials.asp#Glaes www.play.net]<sup>[http://www.play.net/]</sup></ref> |

'''Invar''' is often referred to as '''dwarven steel'''. It is made through a complex and secret process only the dwarves know, and their smiths guard its secrets well. It is not inherently magical in nature, but because of the uniqueness of it, most smiths regard it as a metal unto its own. Because of the exquisitely well-forged properties of invar, when wielded it is far more effective than plain steel or bronze, and is also a bit sturdier. The finished result is usually a weapon of a matte black hue, speckled with dots of red, but the metal can be dyed. |

Invar is often referred to as dwarven steel. It is made through a complex and secret process only the dwarves know, and their smiths guard its secrets well. It is not inherently magical in nature, but because of the uniqueness of it, most smiths regard it as a metal unto its own. Because of the exquisitely well-forged properties of invar, when wielded it is far more effective than plain steel or bronze, and is also a bit sturdier. The finished result is usually a weapon of a matte black hue, speckled with dots of red, but the metal can be dyed.
Due to the fact that the bonus granted to invar is a non-magical bonus, weapons crafted of invar can receive the spell, Elemental Blade (411), giving the weapon an overall bonus of +22 to attack strength and weapon flares.
