[*][SIZE=11pt]Color: Dull green[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]SPECIAL FEATURES[/SIZE]

• [SIZE=11pt]Very mild version of trihexalon.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]STRENGTHS[/SIZE]

• [SIZE=11pt]High heat tolerance.[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=11pt]Devastating against biomass - nasty burns or even disintegration, as described below.[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=11pt]Useful for lighting fires and cooking.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]WEAKNESSES[/SIZE]

• [SIZE=11pt]Green flash on contact with biomass makes hextrine blades absolutely worthless in a stealth context.[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=11pt]If the metal doesn't touch biomass (such as by piercing armor), the reaction just won't occur. [/SIZE]
• [SIZE=11pt]It's very easy to give yourself third-degree burns by accident. Seriously, wear gloves. Good ones.[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=11pt]Doesn't hold an edge terribly well - think stainless steel.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]DESCRIPTION[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Connory designed hextrine as a stabilized form of trihexalon, which is an ore derivative that is radically reactive against biomass. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Ostrine moderates and cools the trihexalon reaction. Ardanium absorbs radiation and converts it to physical strength, ensuring that the metal doesn't go soft or melt entirely. The end result is a physically unimpressive metal that causes deep burns. All contact between hextrine and biomass is characterized by a flash of green light.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Sustained, impaling contact may gradually trigger a more profound reaction, incinerating the enemy (in whole or in part) in a manner comparable to a solid hit from a good disruptor. [As always, the effects are entirely up to the opposing writer.] To prevent disintegration, extract the piece(s) of hextrine (arrowhead, hollow-point bullet, several buckshot pellets, large pieces of shrapnel) from the burn wound promptly (i.e. within half a minute or so). Amputation works wonders.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Hextrine is unimpressive as a material for swords, but Bard Independent makes good money selling basic hextrine ammunition and knives.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]In a pinch, you can use a hextrine knife to cook food, if you're careful and you don't mind a bit of char. [/SIZE]

Nitpicky, but them's the rules – your workshop makes gear and consults on starship design. This submission is neither. Please find a manufacturer that can make this.

ardanium absorbs radiation and converts it to physical strength

• What practical effects does this have on the alloy during/after the hextrine contact reaction?

Sustained, impaling contact may gradually trigger a more profound reaction

• Can you give me a ballpark estimate how long it takes for this potential disintegration to start? A couple seconds, half a minute...?

I've never run into an obstacle before with making alloys to make gear out of, but yeah, I can see why you see it as a stretch. Added some manufacturers, questions addressed.
