Araneium is a shadow-laced metal whose surface seems to drink in light, rendering it a soft grey to nearly black in dim places. When illuminated, faint iridescent filaments stir to life within the grain, giving the impression of threads glimmering just beneath the surface. These inner filaments create shifting halos that appear to slide across the exterior when the piece is moved, as though drifting over liquid shadow. In shadow, araneium becomes unnervingly matte and inert; under light, it reveals a living, web-like iridescence.
Veins of araneium form only where the Plane of Probability seeps into the Plane of Abiding through the planar breach beneath Taisgath, where the shadows grow unnaturally dense and aggressive. Miners claim the metal is “nested” rather than buried and that striking it too hard causes the shadows to recoil violently. Some hold that the goddess Harawep spun these veins deliberately into the stone and that anyone who forges the metal does so under her watch.

Common Description
The shadow-laced metal seems to swallow light. When lit, iridescent threads awaken beneath the metal's surface, sliding like webs adrift in the Void.
Alteration Rules
This material is required for alterations.
Araneium is durable enough to be used as decorative elements in weapons and armor. In taps and looks, it's also acceptable to describe the metal as “shadow-laced araneium.” (If using this description, the metal must be explicitly identified.)
