Lightning Weave Cloth (material)

Lightning Weave Cloth (material)
Type	Defensive Organic Item
Fields	Electric, Protect
Cost	15 rupees

Lightning Weave Cloth appears as a dark yellow, cotton-like fabric. This material itself is like rubber in that it is largely immune to electricity. This treasure, however, is primarily to be used as a material by tailors to craft protective clothing.

A single supply of this cloth can be used to create a tunic, cape, robe, or other garment which can cover the majority of a Hylian's body. The wearer gains no magical immunity to electricity, but any current or Electric attacks which strike the garment first will not harm the wearer.

Variant

In place of Lightning Weave Cloth, Nonconductive Agent can be gained for the same cost. Nonconductive Agent appears as a dark yellow-black fine metallic powder. This material is quite plain on its own, much akin to plain metal. This treasure, however, is primarily to be used as a material by blacksmiths.

A single supply of this powder can be used in the creation of a single metal weapon, shield, or piece of armor. It can later be tempered into the metal item after creation, assuming the blacksmith is of sufficient crafting level to use all the materials of the metal item, in addition to Nonconductive Agent. Any item enhanced with this material will be unable to conduct or carry electrical charges, similar to most forms of wood or rubber. Because of the nature of this material, any item crafted with it cannot be enchanted by a Shock Enchantment, nor affected by similar treasures.

In effect, Nonconductive Agent is considered a Mechanical Item, and not a Organic Item like Lightning Weave Cloth.
