True Iron
Alchemy, Essence
A peacock-colored liquid that gives a weapon (or up to 20 missiles) bonuses by the same weekly process as True Copper.
From the book
A peacock-colored liquid, one fluid ounce, that gives +1 to +4 to one weapon (a sword, dagger, spear, axe, bow and so on) or to a batch of up to 20 arrows or crossbow bolts.
The procedure matches True Copper's: a week of daily dousing per +1, up to four weeks. Only the alchemist who made the essence can do the dousing, an hour every day, and missing a single day ruins the enchantment.
