'''White alloy''' was originally the failed attempt to create a cheap permanently blessed material. However, it was [[/story|recently discovered]] that, when properly blended, this alloy is anathema to the cursed shades and undead spirits that haunt Elanthia. Undead spirits struck by a [[Blessing|blessed]] white alloy weapon take extra damage and are [[Anchoring|temporarily anchored]] to the mortal plane when slain. Undead spirits recoil from blessed white alloy armor and shields, making it harder for them to damage those bearing such equipment.

White alloy is considered a magical metal and can be used to craft weapons, armor, and shields. However, it is unsuitable for bows, staves, claidhmores, and katanas. It has a natural enchantment of +20. It can not be dyed.

==Special Properties==

===Holy Armament===
White alloy is a [[Holy armament|Holy]] material, allowing it to naturally bypass undead damage resistance when wielded by a Cleric or Paladin; other professions will need to have it [[Blessing|blessed]] to negate undead damage resistance.

===Non-corporeal Undead Bane===
While [[Blessing|blessed]], white alloy is a [[:Category:Non-corporeal undead creatures|non-corporeal undead]] [[Armament bane|bane]]. This effect grants white alloy weapons +8 CER of [[damage weighting]] against those enemies. The bane effect of white alloy occupies the [[Item properties#Category C - Other Properties|Category C]] item property slot, making it naturally excluded from any other bane effects.

===Nacreous Flares===
While [[Blessing|blessed]], white alloy has the unique ability that all attacks [[Category:Non-corporeal undead creatures|non-corporeal undead]] have a 25% chance to treat non-corporeal undead as [[:Category:Corporeal undead creatures|corporeal]]. The nacreous flare effect occupies the [[Item properties#Category A - Properties|Category A]] item property and does '''not''' conflict with [[Item properties#Category B - Abilities|Category B]] flare effects.

This effect is active for attacks when the following message is appended:

<pre{{log2}}>
A nacreous aura flares up around your/[HIS/HER/ITS] [ITEM]!
</pre>

===Non-corporeal Undead Anchoring===
While [[Blessing|blessed]], White alloy will always [[Anchoring|anchor]] non-corporeal undead, making their remains able to be searched.

==Material Inspection==
<pre{{log2}}>
It looks like this item has been mainly crafted out of white alloy, an extremely rare metal. It cannot be used in alterations. This material cannot be dyed.
</pre>
