Note: any extra damage from pure metal materials is not multiplied in a critical.Pure IronThe most common metal in the material plane, iron is used for all kind of tools and equipment. When fashioned into weapons or armor, its purpose is quite simple, to hurt and avoid geting hurt. Pure Iron can be used for crafting any item of nonspecial metals, like steel equipment.
Weapon: A Pure Iron weapon's critical threat increases by 1 for every 4 Bab you have, plus it ignores any miss chances from its target on a natural 20 (including mirror image and similar). It can score critical hits on elementals.
Masterwork-As base, plus you can re-roll one missed attack or critical confirmation per round.
Relicwork-As Masterwork, plus you can cripple an oponnent's limb of your choice as a standard action basic attack or as a charge attack (the attack still deals normal damage, only one attack) unless they succeed on a Fort save with DC 5+Bab (including up to two eyes and if they have none left they're left blind, mouth to make them unable to speak, ears to make them deaf). The limb can't be used until the target receives regeneration or a Heal check with DC 20+Bab as a fullround action. A crippled leg reduces speed by half, stacking until no legs are left, in which case the creature can only crawl at speed 5 feet, while a crippled wing makes flight impossible. A crippled head instantly kills the target, but they get a +5 bonus on their Fort save on that case. Increase the DC by 5 if you're wielding the weapon with all your hands. If the target succeeds on their save by less than 10, they suffer the penalty for 1 round.
Artifactwork-As Relicwork, plus whenever it hits a target, that target takes a -1 cumulative penalty to AC and saves until they heal the damage dealt. In addition if the enemy is below 25% max HP, you can combine the Relicwork option with any attack as a free action (but no more than once per attack).
Phantasmwork-As Artifactwork, plus increase its critical multiplier by 1 and it automatically confirms critical hits. Against creatures immune to critical hits, then roll to confirm and if you succeed, it deals the extra critical damage anyway. In addition if the enemy is below 50% max HP, you can combine the Relicwork option with any attack as a free action (but no more than once per attack).
Armor/Shield: Pure Iron armor grant an increased bonus to AC depending on its category (light +1, medium +2, heavy +4). Pure Iron Shields similarly grant an increased bonus to AC depending on its category(light+1, heavy +2, tower+4). Those increased bonus count towards the hardness and touch AC granted by being a pure metal item.
Masterwork-As base, plus you gain Fortification 25% (light armor)/ 50% (medium armor)/ 75% (heavy armor). A pure iron shield increases that fortification by 5%(Light Shield)/15%(Heavy Shield)/25%(Tower Shield).
Relicwork-As Artifactwork, plus while wearing pure iron armor you ignore any ill effects on a successful reflex save. If it is medium armor, Fort saves as well. If it is heavy armor, on Fort and Will saves as well. Plus while wielding a pure iron shield you can add half its Shield bonus to all your saves as a resistance bonus.
Artifactwork-As Relicwork, plus 1/4 the damage you take becomes nonlethal. If you have equiped both pure iron armor and shield, half the damage you take becomes nonlethal instead.
Phantasmwork-As Masterwork, plus natural 20s don't automatically hit you anymore. If you have equiped pure iron armor and shield, natural 2s, 3s and 4s automatically miss you (or just natural 1s and 2s automatically miss you in case the attacker didn't automatically miss on an 1 already).
Special: Pure Iron also has the ability to stablize reality all around, making it impossible to breach the barriers between planes, so that Pure Iron coat of arms are placed in important locations to ward against magic intrusion. In an 1-hour process, you can set one suit of Pure Iron armor, shield and two weapons as a coat of arms that blocks all teleporation/dimensional/planar travel in and out of a radius of 20 feet(basic), 100 feet (masterwork), 500 feet (relicwork), 1 mile (artifactwork), 10 miles (phantasmwork). This includes any and all rooms of buildinds inside the radius. Removing one of the pieces of the coat of arms is enough to ruin this protection however.
Pure SilverIn its refined state, silver is the bane of the undead and other unnatural things that stalk the night.
Weapon: A basic pure silver weapons benefits from a nonmagic Ghost Touch effect and can inflict critical hits on undeads.
Masterwork-As base, plus it inflicts an extra d6 of damage for every 4 Bab you have against evil creatures and counts as Good for bypassing DR.
Relicwork-As Masterwork, plus you can cripple an oponnent's limb of your choice as a standard action basic attack or as a charge attack(the attack still deals normal damage, only one attack) unless they succeed on a Fort save with DC 5+Bab(including up to two eyes and if they have none left they're left blind, mouth to make them unable to speak, ears to make them deaf). The limb can't be used until the target receives regeneration or a Heal check with DC 20+Bab as a fullround action. A crippled leg reduces speed by half, stacking until no legs are left, in which case the creature can only crawl at speed 5 feet, while a crippled wing makes flight impossible. A crippled head instantly kills the target, but they get a +5 bonus on their Fort save on that case. Even undeads can be affected by this. Increase the DC by 5 if you're wielding the weapon with all your hands. This can affect even Undeads. If the target succeeds on their save by less than 10, they suffer the penalty for 1 round.
Artifactwork-As Relicwork, plus increase by 50% the bonus granted by your Bab to attack rolls and damage rolls against creatures with the same number of HD or more than you. In addition if the enemy is below 25% max HP, you can combine the Relicwork option with any attack as a free action (but no more than once per attack).
Phantasmwork-As Artifactwork, plus creatures hit by it must succeed on a Fort save with DC 15+Bab or become fatigued. If they're already fatigued they become exhausted. If they're already exhausted they're rendered helpless for 1 hour. Even undeads can be affected by this. In addition it bypasses all regeneration. In addition if the enemy is below 50% max HP, you can combine the Relicwork option with any attack as a free action (but no more than once per attack).
Armor:/Shield: Pure Silver Armor and Shields base cost are twice as much as the equivalent base metal armor/shield. While wearing a Pure Silver armor or shield, against natural attacks double the hardness granted by your armor/shield against natural attacks. If you have both a Pure Silver armor and Shield, you become immune to disease, and also immune to curses if either the armor is heavy and/or the shield is tower.
Masterwork-As base, plus immunity to energy drain (light armor or shield), immunity to energy drain and negative energy effects (medium armor or heavy shield), or a nonmagic Deathward effect (heavy armor or tower shield). If you're equiped with both pure silver armor and shield, you also become immune to ability damage, plus immunity to energy drain if either the armor is heavy or the shield is tower.
Relicwork-As Masterwork, plus you become immune to fear while equiped with either a Pure Silver armor or Shield. Not even immunity-ignoring effects can bypass this protection, and you gain a morale bonus to attack and damage rolls equal to half your armor+shield bonus for as long as the Fear effect would normally last, plus an extra +1 for each fear degree (shaken +1, frightened +2, panicked +3) and another +1 for medium armor/heavy shield or +2 for heavy armor or tower shield. If you're wearing both a Pure Silver armor and shield, double any morale bonus you gain.
Artifactwork-As Relicwork, plus nonhumanoid creatures with darkvision looking at you from inside their darkvision range must succeed on a Will save with DC 10+Bab or become Blinded for 1 round, such pure is its quality (no more than 1 save per round). Increase the DC by 1 for Medium armor or Heavy Shield, or increase the DC by 2 for heavy armor or tower shield. If you have a pure silver shield and armor, the concentrated amount of highly refined pure silver overwhelms any blindsight, scent, blindsense, mindsense or similar, making you invisible to that kind of senses.
Phantasmwork-As Artifactwork, plus you don't suffer any ill effects besides damage when hit by a melee or ranged physical attack unless it beats your AC by 5 or more. If you have equiped both pure silver armor and shield, only if it beats your AC by 10 or more.
Special: Pure Silver weapons double as precious medical instruments, able to acelerate natural healing of beings and cleanse diseases and other maladies. A basic weapon can cure 1 HP as a fullround action or 1 ability damage as a 1 Hour process. A masterwork weapon can replicate a lesser restoration as a 1 Hour Process or Remove Dissease/Blindness/Deafness as as 8 Hours process. A relicwork weapon can replicate Remove Curse as a 24 hours process or Restoration as a 8 Hour process. An artifactwork weapon can replicate Hallow as a 24 hour process or. Heal as a 1 hour process. A phantasmwork weapon can replicate Greater Restoration as a 8 hour process or Regenerate as a 1 week process. None of those options can be used by anyone able to cast spells/manifest powers/similar or craft magic items, their bodies and minds too tainted by magic to be able to heal things by nonmagical means.
Pure Cold IronThe very essence of logic crystallized, pure cold iron is the bane of tricksters and charlatans.
Weapon: Creatures can't cast/SLA/manifest/PLA/similar defensively while threatened by a Pure Cold Iron weapon. Damage dealt by Pure Cold Iron weapons count as ongoing for concentration purposes, and increase the DC of any concentration checks inflicted by Pure Cold Iron weapons by your Bab, and ignores any miss chances (including mirror image and similar) on the target when it threatens a critical hit In addition it can score critical hits on plants.
Masterwork-As base, plus it inflicts an extra d6 of damage for every 4 Bab you have against chaotic creatures and counts as Lawful for bypassing DR.
Relicwork-As Masterwork, plus you can cripple an oponnent's limb of your choice as a standard action basic attack or as a charge attack(the attack still deals normal damage, only one attack) unless they succeed on a Fort save with DC 5+Bab (including up to two eyes and if they have none left they're left blind, mouth to make them unable to speak, ears to make them deaf). The limb can't be used until the target receives regeneration or a Heal check with DC 20+Bab as a fullround action. A crippled leg reduces speed by half, stacking until no legs are left, in which case the creature can only crawl at speed 5 feet, while a crippled wing makes flight impossible. A crippled head instantly kills the target, but they get a +5 bonus on their Fort save on that case. In the case of a plant, you may try to sever its roots to instantly destroy it instead, but they gain a +5 bonus on their Fort save as well. Increase the DC by 5 if you're wielding the weapon with all your hands. If the target succeeds on their save by less than 10, they suffer the penalty for 1 round.
Artifactwork-As Relicwork, plus it now ignores all miss chances all the time, including mirror image and similar. If it threatens a critical, it also automatically dispels all spells/powers/similar (but not magic items) on the target if it deals damage. In addition if the enemy is below 25% max HP, you can combine the Relicwork option with any attack as a free action (but no more than once per attack).
Phantasmwork-As Relicwork, plus whenever it threatens a critical hit on the attack roll, the target is treated as they had no ongoing spells/powers/similar ongoing on them for that strike, meaning for example that contigencies don't trigger, ignore any bonus to AC coming from those sources, can strike ethereal creatures, etc. In addition if the enemy is below 50% max HP, you can combine the Relicwork option with any attack as a free action (but no more than once per attack).
Armor/Shield: Pure Cold Iron armor and shields grant the wielder SR equal to 11+HD, which can be raised or dropped at any time as a free action even if it isn't your turn.

Increase it by a further 1 for medium armor or heavy shield, or increase it by 2 for heavy armor or tower shield.
Masterwork-As base, plus magic weapons strike you as if they were nonmagic. If you have equiped medium armor or a heavy shield, in addition non-instantaneous area effects never limit your movement ability if you don't want to, so for example you can perfectly move trough an entangle/web/black tentacles/wall of force/ solid fog, but you would still need to save against the entanglement or resist grapple checks as apropriate. If you have heavy armor or a tower shield, in addition you add 1/4 said armor/shield's bonus on all related saves/checks. If you have both armor and shield, any such magic areas you pass over become normal again after you pass.
Relicwork-As Masterwork, plus grants a permanent Mindblank effect. If you're equiped with both pure cold iron armor and shield, you can choose to let yourself be affected by benefical mind-affecting effects of your choice.

This includes any and all rooms of buildinds inside the radius. Removing one of the pieces of the coat of arms is enough to ruin this protection however.
Pure MytrilWhen purified, Mythril becomes truly as light as feather. Pure Mytril equipment weights virtually nothing, if not actually making you lighter yourself. Weapons strike at incredible speeds, while armor allows you to move with exceptional grace.
Weapon: While wielding a mytril weapon double the normal number of Aoos you have per turn, and any Aoo you perform automatically threatens a critical hit. In addition it can critical hit oozes.

With a basic one, as a week-long process you can replicate a teleport with CL=Bab. With a masterwork one, it can do the same as a 8 hour process. With a relicwork one, it can replicate a planeshift as a 8 hour process with CL=Bab. With an artifact one, Greater Teleport or Plane Shift either as a 1 hour process with CL=Bab. With a Phantasmwork one, a Greater Teleport or Plane Shift as a fullround action with CL=HD. Any DCs are 10+Bab.
Pure AdamantinePure adamantine is an exceptionally strong material, weapons of this material punching trough all defences while armors make the wearer an almost unstopable juggernaut.
Weapon: A Pure adamantine weapons ignores half of any DR. In addition it can critical hit constructs and objects.
Masterwork-As base, plus it inflicts an extra d6 of damage for every 4 Bab you have against good creatures and counts as Evil for bypassing DR.
Relicwork-As Masterwork, plus you can cripple an oponnent's limb of your choice as a standard action basic attack or as a charge attack (the attack still deals normal damage, only one attack) unless they succeed on a Fort save with DC 5+Bab (including up to two eyes and if they have none left they're left blind, mouth to make them unable to speak, ears to make them deaf). The limb can't be used until the target receives regeneration or a Heal check with DC 20+Bab as a fullround action.

If the target succeeds on their save by less than 10, they suffer the penalty for 1 round.
Artifactwork-As Relicwork, plus enemies hit must succeed on a Fort save with DC 10+Bab or be dazed for 1 round. Multiple hits on the same turn don't force multiple saves, instead the DC increases by +2 for each extra hit beyond the first. In addition if the enemy is below 25% max HP, you can combine the Relicwork option with any attack as a free action (but no more than once per attack).
Phantasmwork-As Artifactwork, plus it ignores all bonus to AC except Dex, Dodge, natural Armor, Size, Shield and Armor, and it still ignores half the Armor, Shield and Natural Armor of the target.

Relicwork-As Masterwork, plus when you move you can crush your way trough any physical obstacles on your path by succeeding on a Str check to break them as a free action, and then using any leftover movement to keep moving. You can also push aside creatures out of your path by succeeding on a Str check against them as a free action, in which case they're moved away to the closest empty square of their choice. If you fail any of those Str checks your movement instantly ends. You add your pure adamantine armor/shield bonus to those Str checks.
Artifactwork-As Relicwork, plus double the hardness granted by your pure adamantine armor/shield, and effects that ignore hardness only ignore half the hardness granted to you by pure adamantine armor/shields (so basically they still have to deal with your “normal” hardness).
Phantasmwork-As Artifactwork, plus reduce all damage you receive by half, before applying hardness. If you have both pure adamantine armor and shield, instead reduce all damage you receive to ¼, before applying hardness.
Special: Even a relatively small piece of refined pure adamantine can greatly reinforce a bigger structure.

The size affected is 20 cubic feet(basic), 50 cubic feet (masterwork), 100 cubic feet (relicwork), 200 cubic feet (artifactwork), 500 cubic feet miles (phantasmwork). In addition such warded structures also block the passage of ethereal/incorporeal creatures and similar. Removing the piece is enough to ruin this protection however.
Pure GoldEven when purified, gold just isn't very suited to make armors or weapons when compared to other metals. However, it is second to none when it comes to inspiring others, being a favored material for leaders both in war and peace.
The base cost for a pure gold item is 10 times as much as an equivalent pure silver item (no increase to upgrading to masterwork or higher), it weights twice as much, and double all armor skill check penalties.
Weapon: A Pure Gold weapon allows you to add your Bab to Intimidate and Feint checks.

Relicwork-As Masterwork, plus you can cripple an oponnent's limb of your choice as a standard action basic attack or as a charge attack (the attack still deals normal damage, only one attack) unless they succeed on a Fort save with DC 5+Bab (including up to two eyes and if they have none left they're left blind, mouth to make them unable to speak, ears to make them deaf).The limb can't be used until the target receives regeneration or a Heal check with DC 20+Bab as a fullround action. A crippled leg reduces speed by half, stacking until no legs are left, in which case the creature can only crawl at speed 5 feet, while a crippled wing makes flight impossible. A crippled head instantly kills the target, but they get a +5 bonus on their Fort save on that case. Increase the DC by 5 if you're wielding the weapon with all your hands. Increase the DC by an extra 1 if the Pure Gold weapon is worth more than any single piece of equipment of the target. If the target succeeds on their save by less than 10, they suffer the penalty for 1 round.
Artifactwork-As Relicwork, plus whenever you hit an opponent with it, for 1 round your allies that can view you gain a morale bonus on attack rolls and damage rollsequal to 1/5 the damage you dealt with that blow. Multiple blows over the same round don't stack, count just the higher one. In addition if the enemy is below 25% max HP, you can combine the Relicwork option with any attack as a free action (but no more than once per attack).
Phantasmwork-As Artifactwork, plus whenever you threaten a critical, allies that can see you can take an extra move or swift action or supress an ill non-instantaneous non-permanent effect from themselves other than damage for 1 round. Once this ability has triggered in a round, it cannot trigger again on the same round for any other Pure Gold Phantasmwork weapons on view (altough the same phantasmwork can trigger multiple times in the same round). In addition if the enemy is below 50% max HP, you can combine the Relicwork option with any attack as a free action (but no more than once per attack).
Armor/Shield: Pure Gold armor grants a bonus to Diplomacy and resisting Feinting and Demoralizing checks equal to half the AC bonus they grant you. It can also shed light as a torch by polishing it as a move action. This light can be “turned off” by dirtying the armor a bit as another move action.
Masterwork-As base, plus allies adjacent to you gain a bonus on all saves and skill checks unless they have equiped a piece of equipment more valuable than your Pure Gold Armor or Shield. The bonus depends on the armor/shield grade (+1 for light, +2 for medium armor/heavy shield, +3 for heavy armor/tower shield), stacking one suit of armor and one shield.
Relicwork-As Artifactwork, plus as a move action you can polish it enough to make it give out light as a Daylight spell with a radius of 10 feet (light), 20 feet (medium armor/heavy shield) or 30 feet (heavy armor or tower shield), stacking one suit of armor and one shield. Regardless, as long as this light is active, whenever you make a save against an area effect or a defensive check, your allies inside the light can choose to automatically succeed against it as well. However if you do fail a save or defensive check, the light goes automatically out and you must spend a new move action.
Artifactwork-As Relicwork, plus enemies wishing to enter the light area or to attack (as the Sanctuary spell) from outside someone inside the radius must succeed on a Will save with DC 10+Bab or lose the action.
Phantasmwork-As Masterwork, plus you can freely share any and all of your immunities and resistances with your allies inside your armor's light radius.

This includes any and all rooms of buildinds inside the radius. Removing one of the pieces of the coat of arms is enough to ruin this protection however.
Pure MercuryAltough usually liquid at room temperature, when properly refined and treated Pure Mercury can hold a solid shape. Better yet, it can then be reshaped into other forms.
The base cost for a Pure Mercury item is 10 times as much as an equivalent pure iron item and it weights double as much, plus increases all armor skill check penalties by 2.
Weapon: As a move or Swift action Pure Mercury weapon can change into any other kind of weapon (like a greatsword to a longsword) you're proficient with, provided the new weapon weights as much or less. Weight is unchanged. This transformation lasts until you transform it back again. You can also this to make purely cosmetic changes like heraldry and symbols, further granting you a bonus on Non-Feint Bluff checks equal to your Bab.
Masterwork-As base, plus it deals 1d4 Acid damage for every 4 HD you have. At your choice, you may choose for all the damage dealt by the Pure Mercury weapon to be Acid damage, but DR and hardness still applies as normal.
Relicwork-As Masterwork, plus you can cripple an oponnent's limb of your choice as a standard action basic attack or as a charge attack (the attack still deals normal damage, only one attack) unless they succeed on a Fort save with DC 5+Bab (including up to two eyes and if they have none left they're left blind, mouth to make them unable to speak, ears to make them deaf).The limb can't be used until the target receives regeneration or a Heal check with DC 20+Bab as a fullround action. A crippled leg reduces speed by half, stacking until no legs are left, in which case the creature can only crawl at speed 5 feet, while a crippled wing makes flight impossible. A crippled head instantly kills the target, but they get a +5 bonus on their Fort save on that case. Increase the DC by 5 if you're wielding the weapon with all your hands. If the target succeeds on their save by less than 10, they suffer the penalty for 1 round. Enemies with regeneration cannot reattach limbs cut off by a Pure Mercury weapon, plus it takes twice as much time for the limb to regrow.
Artifactwork-As Relicwork, plus whenever you hit an opponent with it, they have to succeed on a Will save with DC 10+Bab or become Confused for 2 rounds. Multiple hits on the same round don't force multiple saves, but rather increase the DC by 2 for each extra hit. In addition if the enemy is below 25% max HP, you can combine the Relicwork option with any attack as a free action (but no more than once per attack).
Phantasmwork-As Artifactwork, plus when changing the weapon you can combine the best properties from two diferent ones you're proficient with, as long as they're both ranged or both melee. So for example if you have proficiency with martial weapons, you could combine a guisarme with a greatsword to gain a two-handed reach weapon that deals 2d6 Base damage, threatens a crit on a 19-20 for x3 damage, can be used for trip attacks and also to attack adjacent opponents like a regular greatsword. In addition if the enemy is below 50% max HP, you can combine the Relicwork option with any attack as a free action (but no more than once per attack).
Armor/Shield: Grants resistence to Acid equal to half the AC bonus, stacking one suit of armor and one shield. As a move or Swift action Pure Mercury armor/shield can change into any other kind of armor/shield (like a fullplate to a chainshirt) you're proficient with, provided the new armor/shield weights as much or less as the previous one. Weight is unchanged. This transformation lasts until you transform it back again. You can also this to make purely cosmetic changes like heraldry and symbols, further granting you a bonus on Disguise checks equal to half your Bab (your full Bab if wearing both pure mercury shield and armor).
Masterwork-As base, plus you can inscribe special runes in your armor/shield that make you immune to a total amount of spell/maneuver levels equal to your combined Shield/Armor AC bonus. So for example if you had an Armor bonus of 8 and a shield bonus of 6 you could make yourself immune to one 8th level maneuver, one 3rd level spell, one 1st level spell and one 2nd level spell. 0th level spells count as half. The immunity extends to SLAs and Su abilities that replicate a spell you're immune against. If the spell/maneuver created an area effect, you can pass through it no problem and leave behind a passage. Changing the runes takes 5 minutes per level.
Relicwork-As Masterwork, plus enemies striking/touching you in melee take Acid damage equal to half your pure mercury Armor/Shield bonus. Enemies grappling you take the same Acid damage per each grapple check, successful or not. Plus you have a chance (light armor/shield-10%, medium armor/heavy shield-30%, heavy armor/tower Shield-50%) of automatically removing any entanglement effect and/or physical bindings on you such as ropes/chains/shackles at the end of your turn, stacking one suit of armor and shield.
Artifactwork-As relicwork, plus ranged touch attacks that fail to hit your touch AC have a chance (light armor/shield-10%, medium armor/heavy shield-20%, heavy armor/tower Shield-30%) of being reflected back at the attacker, stacking one suit of armor and one shield. Ranged effects that don't demand an attack roll have an equal chance of simply failing against you.
Phantasmwork-As Artifactwork, plus enemies attacking you must succeed on a Will save with DC 10+Bab or become confused for 2 rounds (if they were already confused and fail again, they become permanently insane until receiving a miracle or wish spell to solve it).

Pure Brass
Technically an alloy of two base metals, purified Brass presents some unique qualities, in particular when it comes to making sound.
The base cost for a Pure Brass item is 2 times as much as an equivalent pure iron item and it weights half as much.
Weapon: A Pure Brass weapon can make quite a bit of noise. Victims struck by one must make a Fort save with DC 10+Bab or be Deafened for 1d12 rounds. If you're holding the weapon with all your hands, increase the DC by 5.
Masterwork-As base, plus it deals 1d4 Sonic damage for every 4 HD you have. At your choice, you may choose for all the damage dealt by the Pure Brass weapon to be Sonic damage, but DR and hardness still applies as normal.
Relicwork-As Masterwork, plus you can cripple an oponnent's limb of your choice as a standard action basic attack or as a charge attack (the attack still deals normal damage, only one attack) unless they suceed on a Fort save with DC 5+Bab (including up to two eyes and if they have none left they're left blind, mouth to make them unable to speak, ears to make them deaf).The limb can't be used until the target receives regeneration or a Heal check with DC 20+Bab as a fullround action. A crippled leg reduces speed by half, stacking until no legs are left, in which case the creature can only crawl at speed 5 feet, while a crippled wing makes flight impossible. A crippled head instantly kills the target, but they get a +5 bonus on their Fort save on that case. Increase the DC by 5 if you're wielding the weapon with all your hands. If the target succeeds on their save by less than 10, they suffer the penalty for 1 round.
Crystalline enemies take a -5 penalty on this save. Crystalline constructs are vulnerable to this ability.
Artifactwork-As Relicwork, plus when you make an attack, you may replicate a 1-round Whirlwind Ex effect as the spell, range 1000 feet, DC 10+Bab (+5 if you hold the weapon with all hands), everybody inside the area is affected by your melee attack (roll once and compare against their ACs).
Phantasmwork-As Artifactwork, plus creatures hit are automatically Deafened for 1 round, permanently if they fail the Fort save.
In addition if the enemy is below 25% max HP, you can combine the Relicwork option with any attack as a free action (but no more than once per attack).
Armor/Shield: Grants resistence to Sonic equal to half the AC bonus. Pure brass armor is also highly accoustic, granting you a bonus on sound-based Perform checks equal to half your Bab (your full Bab if wearing both pure brass shield and armor). +2 extra for medium armor/heavy shield, +4 extra for heavy armor/tower shield, stacking one suit of armor and shield.
Masterwork-As base, plus it channels air vibrations that make it easier to communicate and sense others. You benefit from a Tongues effect and Blindsight 5 feet (Light armor/Light shield), 10 feet (medium armor/heavy shield) or 20 feet (heavy armor/tower shield), stacking one suit of armor and shield together.
Relicwork-As Masterwork, plus the impressive look and sound it makes makes it quite fearsome. Whenever you charge, attack or make a properly dramatic action, anyone that can see/hear you must make a Will save or become Panicked/Frightened for 1d12 rounds (your choice). Even if they save they become Shaken for 1 round, but are then immune to this effect from you for 1 minute. DC 8+Bab+1 DC (Light armor/Light shield), +2 DC (medium armor/heavy shield) or +4 DC (heavy armor/tower shield), stacking one suit of armor and shield together.
Artifactwork-As relicwork, plus you can't hear annoying things over the cool sound of your armor. You ignore Blasphemy/Holy Word/Dictum/Word of Chaos and Power Word spells. If you have both Armor and Shield of Pure Brass, you also ignore effects that would allow others to order you around like Charm/Dominate and Command. If either is heavy armor or a tower shield you also become immune to Curses. If you have both Heavy Armor and Tower shield you also become immune to Fear.
Phantasmwork-As Masterwork, plus it makes so much noise that enemies inside a certain range can't communicate with anybody else, even through non-sound means like telepathy. Your armor is just too noisy! Affects a radius of 5 feet (light armor/light shield), 10 feet (medium armor/heavy shield) or 20 feet (heavy armor/tower shield), stacking a suit of armor and shield.
Special: Pure Brass can be used to send sounds at great distances. A set of armor, shield and weapon can be set up with 1 minute of work, and will allow to send messages to anyone with another prepared set of pure brass armor/shield/weapon within 1 mile.
If the set is masterwork, anywhere within 100 miles.
If the set is relicwork, anywhere within 10 000 miles.
If the set is artifactwork, anywhere on the same plane.
If the set if phantasmwork, any plane.
