Adamant: This jet-black, brittle, ferromagnetic ore is the source of the famed alloy Adamantine's

strength. Adamant is unbelievably hard, and is as brittle. The main unique properties of adamant
are its ability to overcome the hardness of any knon material, its ability to shield against fire, and
its brittleness. !ulesise, adamant has "# hardness and $# hp%inch of thickness. &oever,
adamant is so brittle that if struck or used as a eapon or armor it has a $#' chance to fracture,
losing half its ma( hardness and a quarter of its ma( hp )eg. each time it fractures it loses *#
hardness and + hp,. -inally, adamant suffers no effect from fire, and neither does any ho make
