Mined only in Thrane, flametouched iron is rare and considered sacred by the Church of the Silver Flame. When mined, this iron variety has a speckled dark red color, resembling rust, but when it is refined, it takes on a shimmering, silvery hue. Adherents of the Church of the Silver Flame believe that flametouched iron carries the particular blessing of their deity, and they use it to make holy symbols, weapons, and armor.
Flametouched iron has the same weight and other physical characteristics as iron (hardness 10, 30 hit points per inch of thickness). It possesses magical qualities, however, that manifest in different ways depending on the item it is crafted into. A flametouched iron weapon is treated as a good-aligned weapon for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. Flametouched iron armor grants the wearer a +1 resistance bonus on saving throws against the spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities of evil outsiders. A flametouched iron holy symbol allows a character who can turn undead or censure fiends to do so as if his class level were one higher than it actually is.
Price: A flametouched iron weapon or suit of armor has a market price modifi er of +1,000 gp. A flametouched iron holy symbol costs 750 gp. Items without metal parts cannot be made from flametouched iron.
