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?) 5.

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 80.

Items

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

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.

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 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.

Messaging

Absorbing spells cast on kroderine:

Wizard gestures at you.
  CS: +XXX - TD: +XXX + CvA: +25 + d100: +7 - -5 == +104
  Warding failed!
Your kroderine longsword is struck with Wizard's cast.  The magic of the spell is instantly devoured by the longsword!

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.
