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.

Kroderine appears fairly similar to steel in its natural state. It has a tendency to blacken over time as a side effect 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 78.

Items

Kroderine was released during Ebon Gate, in the year 5106. One longsword was released.

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.

Enhancements

Kroderine items cannot be enchanted or otherwise magically enhanced at all, as the material simply absorbs the magic instantly. Kroderine cannot even be enchanted by the premium points system.

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.
