Bluewood

The priests and mages of the East sometimes work in materials with innate special properties.

Bluewood: Volodni craftsfolk often fashion art or and weapons from the wood of blueleaf trees grown with care, sculpted with wood shape, and then magically treated to be as hard as steel. A bluewood weapon has the same hardness and characteristics as a normal metal armor or weapon of that sort but weighs half as much. Bluewood armor and weapons created in this fashion are considered masterwork items and gain the appropriate bonuses.

Bluewood items have the following additional costs: Light armor +300 gp Medium armor +600 gp Heavy armor +1,200 gp Shield +300 gp Weapon (1d4 or 1d6) +400 gp Weapon (any other) +800 gp

The process of treating bluewood to harden it requires ten days of work by someone knowledgeable in the process. This is either a volodni with 10 ranks in Craft (alchemy or woodworking), or a nonvolodni with the same skills and 2 ranks in Knowledge (local-volodni).
