Materials
- Nevarite:
Name: Nevarite
Item Rank: A-rank
Material Rank: A-rank
Units Used: 3 Steel, up to 45 units can be processed at a time
Description: Also known under the names of 'Blacksteel', 'Demon Steel' or 'Ebony Steel', this steel variant is the result of a secret forging technique known by few Tengu of the Yokai clan. As the name suggests, it is a pitch-black steel variant. It is more durable than standard steel but falls short on ebony's durability despite its name.
The process of nevarite requires one to be trained in the Kijo's 'Dark Arts of Cursing', a hiden only few tengu of the clan are familiar with. Through this art, as the steel is molten in the forge, its essence is being cursed to a point it turns an unholy black as the eldritch incantations entirely corrupt its essence.
This new type of steel loses a lot of its vibrancy; it no longer rings as clearly as metal usually does when (un)sheathing, instead seemingly gasping along the action. It no longer rings cheerfully when moving, instead sounding like a dulled passing of the wind. The metal doesn't shine when light falls upon it, instead providing a matted shadow grey. And where high quality crafts of steel are said to inspire those who bear it, nevarite seemingly fills the mind with whispers of its involuntary corruption.

- Kijo Umbral Silk:
Name: Kijo Umbral Silk
Item Rank: A-rank
Material Rank: A-rank
Units Used: 3 Silk, up to 45 units can be processed at a time
Description: The process of this cloth requires one to be trained in the Kijo's 'Dark Arts of Cursing', a hiden only few tengu of the clan are familiar with. Through this art, as the cloth is being drowned in dyes, its essence is being cursed to a point it turns into a shadow-like silky texture as the eldritch incantations entirely corrupt its essence.
This new type of cloth seemingly loses its physical coherence in the real world, as if trying to become one with the dreamscape. It plays upon the perceptions as swirls of shadows consistently wisp around it and is so light to the touch one could swear they are wearing nothing but air. It is particularly cooperative with Wind chakra.
