Base metals are still used for a variety of purposes, however, current military needs require carbon nanotubes, self-repairing materials and heavy weapons that can be borne by a single soldier. Master craftsmen, such as the Sons of Ivaldi have at their disposal Hyperforges that can twist an object's mass out of realspace and into the Ginnungagap, or hyperspace. This process, Hyperforging, leaves behind an object of little weight and vast inertia, able to pierce, pound or penetrate with far more effect than their mundane counterparts.

Hyperforged: Increase a melee weapon's damage by 50% and add Armor Piercing (+1/2). Impact weapons such as Hammers and Maces add Area of Effect (One Hex, +1/2). Bladed weapons add Penetrating (+1/2).
