Toven

Toven is a metal ore unique to Erathes. It resembles stone, but it also appears to have metallic properties. It seems able to store most energies, particularly magic. Toven is highly durable and retains enchantments very well. The appearance of Toven metal ore is described as "badly wrought iron." When Toven is enchanted, it becomes much more durable.
Toven is non-sparking and is a highly unmalleable metal, often requiring extreme methods to forge it (for example, the heart of a star, or an enchanted forge). Albeit very difficult to forge, weapons and items made from Toven, especially enchanted ones, are resilient to most forms of damage.
The main property of Toven is its natural affinity to magic. Toven is not only easy to enchant, but also absorbs magic like a sponge. Due to its durability and ability to hold enchantments, it is often forged into the finest weapons for the warriors of Erathes.
