Like [[krodera]], '''kroderine''' is anti-magical in nature. Unlike krodera, kroderine absorbs magic rather than reflects it. As such, a weapon that is crafted of kroderine randomly dispels those that it is used on. At its base, kroderine handheld items (weapons/shields) dispel up to 3 spells, and worn items dispel up to 5.

Kroderine appears fairly similar to [[steel]] in its natural state. It has a tendency to blacken over time as a side effect of its special magic-consuming properties, though this can be concealed with dye.

Items made of kroderine cannot be used by anyone that "cannot survive an attack by a [[dhu goleras]]," which is about [[level]] 80. 

Holding a kroderine shield reduces the wearer's maximum mana by 50% and provides a 15% chance to absorb an offensive spell. Wearing kroderine armor reduces maximum mana to 0 and provides a 30% chance to absorb an offensive spell. Wielding both results in them attempting to absorb the offensive spell in sequence beginning with the shield. Combined, they provide a ~40.5% chance to absorb an offensive spell.

==Items==
Kroderine was released during [[Ebon Gate 2006|Ebon Gate]], in the year 5106; one longsword was released (a blackened kroderine longsword with a heavily enruned hilt). The only kroderine known to be in adventurer's hands was used to disable a complex series of magical wards created by the [[Hall of Mages]] to protect the [[Paidreg Venquinor|Venquinor]] household in [[Solhaven]] in 5108.

At the Ebon Gate auction in the year 5109, a blackened kroderine full plate and a pitch-black kroderine aegis were available on the auction block. A few kroderine items have been made available via raffle or prizes in subsequent Ebon Gate festivals, as well as [[Droughtman's Challenge]]. Base kroderine items were available at the high end scrip shop at [[Duskruin Arena]] in [[High End Scrip Shop/shop list April 2017|April 2017]].

==Enhancements==
Kroderine items cannot be enchanted or otherwise magically enhanced through most means, as the material absorbs the magic instantly.

* Kroderine cannot be enchanted by [[Enchant (925)]], the [[premium point]]s system, merchant services, or [[Duskruin]] enchant certs.
* Kroderine items cannot be [[Loresong|loresung]] by [[bard]]s. If a bard does attempt to sing to it, the item [[Stunned|stun]]s them and drains all of their [[mana]]. The bard will not be able to regain mana for approximately ten minutes.
* Kroderine can have [[bane]]s added to it.

==Messaging==

The normally faint resonating vibration is instead a cacophonous roar that not only readily consumes the magic of your song, but also begins to work its way into your very being. Your [[mana]] is ripped away from you in an instant as you collapse to the ground, drained and feeling a horrible emptiness inside you!

Roundtime: 30 sec.
