It is not possible to mine through slade walls. You can still [[obsidian]]-cast them and then mine that, but this will not yield any slade boulders. | It is not possible to mine through slade walls.

Slade has a natural immunity to [[dragonfire]] since it does not have a specific heat or any state change temperatures defined in the raws. | Slade has a natural immunity to [[dragonfire]] since it does not have a specific heat or any state change temperatures defined in the raws. | ||
