Luspeel

Luspeel was the Realms name for a hardstone known as magnetite or lodestone.

Description
Luspeel was naturally magnetic and was occasionally used in the floors of temples to subtly encourage piety--a kneeling worshiper felt his or her weapons and armor being gently stuck to the floor. A typical price for large quantities of this hardstone was 3 gp per pound (0.45kg).

Powers
Luspeel was generally useful in the manufacture of magical items, and especially necessary for tempering swords that were intended to be bound with multiple enchantments.

Notable Luspeels

 * The pieces of the Magical Chessmen of Ultham-Urre were carved from this stone so they would gently be attracted to a steel chessboard.
