Masthead of durability

A masthead of durability was a type of enchanted mast step that vastly improved the durability of any mast that was installed into it. They were primarily used in Realmspace among spelljammers.This item is a "masthead" in name only. A masthead is defined as being the top part of a mast, whilst this item is consistently described across sources as being the "lower support for a mast". The more appropriate term for such a structural component would be a "mast step", something that's located at the base of a mast and designed to support its weight and secure it to a deck.
==Description==
These small silver items were structural supports installed at the base of masts, physically bolting them to their decks.
==Powers==
Any mast that was equipped with a masthead of durability would be vastly strengthened, becoming virtually indestructible to physical attacks. Additionally, if a spelljammer were to ever attempt shearing off the top of a mast, the ship would suffer damage equivalent to its tonnage. However, they could not protect masts against destruction by fire.
