= Meteoric Iron =
Meteoric iron is presumed by some lofty-minded scholars to come from pieces of the sun, fallen to earth. In truth, its origin is slightly more material, where ferrous rocks exposed to the magical radiation of the void get captured into the atmosphere and fall to the ground, leaving smoldering craters in their wake. Because of the small size of most meteors and the extreme rarity of the event, meteoric iron is extremely exceedingly rare.
Meteoric iron is iron infused with the element of fire. It looks like iron with a dull, reddish gleam. In space, microscopic particles bombard such meteors, leaving enclosed tiny crystalline deposits throughout the iron that draw a constant backdrop of heat energy from the [[SRD:Elemental Plane of Fire|elemental plane of fire]]. As such, meteoric iron is hot to the touch even in a cold environment. Objects fashioned of meteoric iron emit warmth in a radius roughly equivalent to its size, sufficient to gird a single person or more against the cold. Items fashioned from meteoric iron protect the wearer or user from the effects of cold weather and climate as per [[SRD:Endure Elements|endure elements]], conferring level 3 cold protection. Furthermore, meteoric iron has the following properties when used to create specific items.
