Adamant
This super-strong metal is a spell forged, magical alloy that has surprisingly light weight, amazing hardness, and virtual indestructibility. Armor composed of adamant cannot be bent, pierced, or broken in any way. Weapons made with adamant are sharper and more deadly than normal weapons. In book four an adamant sword cuts through dragon scales as if they were made of cardboard, and an adamant breastplate resists the swipe of a dragon claw without a scratch.

Famous quotes containing the word adamant:
“In a toddler’s mind, agreeing with you means that he is indistinguishable from you.... The adamant little tot is fighting hard to solidify a personal sense of Self. Selfhood sometimes requires great sacrifice and often precludes cooperation.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“All things are flowing, even those that seem immovable. The adamant is always passing into smoke. The plants imbibe the materials which they want from the air and the ground. They burn, that is, exhale and decompose their own bodies into the air and earth again. The animal burns, or undergoes the like perpetual consumption. The earth burns, the mountains burn and decompose, slower, but incessantly.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
