Glassteeled

A glassteeled item was any object granted steel-like durability by the glassteel spell.

Differences with Glassteel
While a material known as glassteel existed, there were numerous examples of objects that rather than having been created out of glassteel, had been treated with a hardening spell known as glassteel (or even Trobriand's glassteel) instead. While objects made of glassteel varied in appearance, objects with a glassteel treatment generally remained visually recognizable as their base material. Also, glassteel had the strength of adamantine, though not its ability to damage other materials, and the lightness mithral; glassteel-treated creations were explicitly only as strong as steel.

Applicable Materials
While glass itself was the most common obvious of glassteel spells, it was not the only material susceptible to such reinforcement. Crystals, too, could be affected by the spell and obscure versions, such as Trobriand's glassteel may have lacked even those limitations. In fact, even the metal adamant was affected by the magic, and equipment made of such had been enchanted successfully.

Notable Examples in the Realms

 * Chalcedony statues present in Vanrakdoom had been treated with Trobriand's glassteel to attain ferrous durability.
 * A ruby used as the phylactery of Greshrukk after treatment, and the shield of the Red Knight was made in the same way.
 * Emerald-colored marble had been glassteeled in the Emerald Canopy of the Cathedral of Emerald Scales.
 * A rogue stone was treated for use as the phylactery of Dretchroyaster.
 * The Diamond staff of Chomylla had been reinforced with the spell.
 * The Moonstone Shard in the House of the Moon was reinforced moonstone.

Tinted Glassteel
A very specific case, tinted glassteel was created by the arcane and sold to spacefaring drow. The spell was modified so that the object, rather than transparent, was only partially transparent from one side, and resembled steel from the other. A helmet of light-seeing, which made light bearable to drow eyes, required this material.
