of the Far Realms. It is formed by the constant clashing of magic, flesh and, psionics morphing and bending itself into the silverly blue flowing substance you see before you. Forging Nethersteel is quite different then forging other metals, for it needs extreme cold instead of heat in order to form it correctly, but once forged into
its new shape it is powerful. Handling raw Nethersteel ore is dangerous and any creature that touches it with bare flesh must make a Will save DC 15 or be affected as by the Confusion spell for 1d4+1 minutes. If the creature doesn't drop the ore they must succeed at another Will save every round until they either drop the ore, or fail the save. Mindless creatures or creatures with the proper equipment (usually Adamantine or Dragonhide armor) are the only safe ways to harvest the material.

Death Scream(su): Because of what it is composed of nethersteel procuces a strange scream when shattered. Upon destruction of a nethersteel item all within 60ft hearing the wailing must make a will save dc15 or be deafened for 1d4 minutes and confused for 1d4+4 rounds.
Special: Twisting (Su): Though Nethersteel is
crafted into a permanent shape, the metal likes
to move and wrench itself in different directions
often creating some strange results. Whenever Nethersteel is struck, or
strikes another object, it spiked or flattens or rounds itself. Roll a d%
