Vibrolithe
A highly dangerous material embraced by those who like high risk and high reward, vibrolithe is a nearly indestructible metallic substance that always seem to be vibrating in 'tonal frequencies'. Vibrolithe is an Idylean material, used extremely rarely for its dangerous natures and limitations. Vibrolithe cannot be combined with another material (through a transmuter forge or with the material composite enhancement), any attempt at alloying it result in strange new materials.
When shaped into weapons, vibrolithe's potential comes to light, firstly it gain the Absolute enhancement for free as a nonmagical ability, but only for physical damage dealt with it. A vibrolithe weapon can also strike ethereal and incorporeal creatures as if it was Ghost Touch. Finally the weapon itself become much more damaging, however in exchange an excess of kinetic energy is dealt to the wielder as well. A vibrolithe weapon deal damage as if it was a size category larger and the damage dice of the weapon increase by one step (so a medium vibrolithe greatsword would deal 3d8 damage). In exchange every time the wielder hit, he is dealt 2 typeless damage if his weapon is light, 4 if it one-handed or 6 if two-handed.
Due to it nigh indestructible nature, vibrolithe make incredibly protective armor. When made into an armor or shield, vibrolithe increase the AC bonus by 2 and grant damage resistance (as per the Invulnerable enhancement and stack with it) of 2 for light armor and light shield, 4 for medium armor and heavy shield, 6 for heavy armor and tower shield. Finally vibrolithe has the ability to vibrate magic away, granting Spell Dampening of 1 for light armor, light shield and heavy shield, 2 for medium armor and tower shield and 3 for heavy armor. The spell dampening granted by an armor and shield do not stack, however the damage resistance do.
Vibrolithe is invincible; it cannot be damaged or destroyed in any way unless first made vulnerable. The only way of making vibrolithe vulnerable to damage is by exposing it to a a powerful sonic frequency. Doing so requires dealing at least 50 point of sonic damage to the vibrolithe item. Once done, the item will be vulnerable to harm for 1 minute. While vulnerable, vibrolithe has 90 hit points per inch of thickness and hardness 30.
A vibrolithe item cannot easily be crafted by mortals; only creatures with 20 ranks in the appropriate craft skill can shape molten vibrolithe.
