Memory Metal (material)

Memory Metal
Type	Utility Magical Item
Fields	Empower, WeaponBase
Cost	variable rupees

Memory Metal, and its counterpart Wonder Wood, are a materials which can be used by a skilled Weaponsmith. On its own, the materials seem similar to regular steel and regular oak, respectively. When crafted into a fine weapon, however, it can gain a powerful new property. The knowledge of any one technique or spell with the WeaponBase field can be imbued into the forged item. Anytime thereafter, any being who wields the weapon gains complete and instantaneous knowledge of the maneuver, as if he or she has been using it for years. As soon as the item leaves their grasp, however, the maneuver is just as quickly forgotten. In effect, this grants the wielder the ability to use a WeaponBase move chosen by the Weaponsmith.

If the crafter doesn't know the technique or spell to be imbued, the cost of Memory Metal equals the cost of that technique or spell. If the crafter does know the proper technique or spell, then the cost becomes 2 cost levels lower than the cost of that technique or spell. (For example, a Higher cost Power-based technique can be acquired as a Lower cost Power-based Memory Metal.) Cost level cannot be reduced below "Lowest."
