Obsidian

Obsidian is one of the types of Template:L* that forms entire Template:Ls. Obsidian is typically present in large quantities on maps with Template:Ls or Template:Ls. It is always found surrounding these features, varying between 2-5 tiles thick, on every layer of the magma plus often above and below.

^{(* technically volcanic glass in Template:L.)}

Obsidian is considered an Template:L and, with a Template:L of 3, is 50% more valuable than Template:L (material value 2) and triple the value of average Template:L (material value 1), yielding the highest-Template:L stone Template:L and Template:L. In order to use it for anything other than weapons, it needs to be turned on (to green) on the stone management portion of the Template:L via (z, stone).

Obsidian is the only stone that can be used to make Template:L (which also requires a Template:L log) at a Template:L using the Template:L skill. The Template:L of an obsidian weapon is the same as for a Template:L Template:L of the same Template:L.^{v0.28.181.40d}

Other sources of obsidian

Obsidian is produced whenever magma and water are mixed, which is done intentionally in dwarven Template:L. Also, Template:L towers are made of obsidian and can be mined to produce large quantities of it. Lastly, Template:L become a single, usable obsidian stone when killed.

"Obsidian" is the also name of the twelfth month of the dwarven Template:L, covering late Winter.
