Mage-smithing

Mage smithing is the art of using magic to make armor or weapons. While not actualy smithing, this creates very strong gear.

Use
The Sahuagin are the only people to use Mage-smithing reliably, and make armor out of water which is harder and stronger than Iron.

Materials
Making Mage-armour is hard, as it requires a large amount of magic, and the material. Easiest to make is Water armour. While lava can be made aswell, the constant heat it gives off will kill any who wear it. Aswell as water souls can be used aswell, though this is harder. It requires the sacrifice of hundreds of Sentient creatures. Weapons and armor made of souls are unmatched.
