Darksteel metal
Darksteel metal is a magical indestructible material found on Mirrodin. It is black and has characteristic golden streaks of energy surrounding it.[1][2][3]
Creating Darksteel Metal to create tools or constructs is an extremely difficult art as the same properties which make the material indestructible requires the artisan to shape the metal at the exact instant it is forged. Tezzeret conjectured that it was easier to warp reality than it was to manipulate darksteel, using space itself as a mold for darksteel to fill. This methodology was passed through Vulshok tradition but largely lost in the Phyrexian corruption of Mirrodin.[4]
Exposure to glistening oil for months at a time would convert it into blightsteel. These compounded difficulties meant few blightsteel constructs have been made, with only one confirmed (Blightsteel Colossus).
