Vethinye or starsong is a metal that can be used to craft armaments. When struck in combat, it has a chance to vibrate and release a song that is disruptive to multiple targets in an area.

The flares are innate to the material and do not use the ability field. They deal standard critical damage and use disruption criticals. When the flare triggers, it will affect 1d3 targets. If fewer creatures are in the room than the number of flares, the remaining flares will hit the initial target. Vethinye/starsong has a material difficulty of 150.

Vethinye in all forms ranges from the palest of pale blues to the darkest of midnight blues and everything in between, including ombre versions. The metal is dotted with star-shaped occlusions that catch the light and appear to twinkle like stars in the sky. The metal can take a dye, but the iridescent speckles remain.

Starsong/vethinye are interchangeable for alteration purposes on items made out of vethinye that are combat items.

Vethinye was released in 2023 Rumor Woods and sold at The Starry Lotus.

On weaponry:

You punch with a pale blue vethinye katar at a thrak!
  AS: +160 vs DS: +58 with AvD: +36 + d100 roll: +78 = +216
   ... and hit for 36 points of damage!
   Strike pierces forearm!
   The thrak is stunned!

 ** As a resonating song emanates from your vethinye katar, it entwines you in night blue wisps of ephemera.  Suddenly, a star-sparked rush of percussive pressure from the katar whips out at a thrak! **
   ... 30 points of damage!
   Bones shatter in the thrak's shield arm.
A thrak screeches loudly and slumps to the ground while frantically licking its wounded left foreleg.

 ** As a resonating song emanates from your vethinye katar, it entwines you in night blue wisps of ephemera.  Suddenly, a star-sparked rush of percussive pressure from the katar whips out at a manticore! **
   ... 10 points of damage!
   The manticore's stomach muscles jerk uncontrollably.

 ** As a resonating song emanates from your vethinye katar, it entwines you in night blue wisps of ephemera.  Suddenly, a star-sparked rush of percussive pressure from the katar whips out at a thrak! **
   ... 20 points of damage!
   Rib bones snap and protrude from the thrak's chest.
The thrak hisses one last time and dies.
