You can weaken or strengthen the substance of an object or structure. You can affect both mundane and magical inanimate material. Weakening an object’s substance decreases its hardness and [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]], and strengthening it increases its hardness and [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]]. You can increase or decrease an object’s hardness by up to 5 from its original hardness. When hardness increases, the object (or portion of an object) gains 3 [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]] per inch of thickness for every point of increased hardness. When hardness decreases, the object (or portion of an object) loses 2 [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]] per inch of thickness for every point of decreased hardness (to a minimum of 1 hit point per inch of thickness).

You can’t decrease the hardness of an object that already has hardness 0.

''Working Manipulated Metals: ''An object or portion thereof whose hardness is decreased or increased is permanently changed. Even hardening adamantine to 25 is possible. You can also harden or weaken a preforged weapon, a suit of armor, or some other finished item.

''XP Cost: ''250 XP for each point by which the object’s hardness is altered.
