Adamantium cancels magics totally when touched; at least Griffin Island suggests so. Like superb non-enchanted iron. I'd say that refining is a long-term process, equivalent in difficulty to HQ'ing. Adamantium is so hard to get that I know of no Gloranthan hero who would have an adamantium arrowtip or a piece of it. Killing chaos beasts is a property of item of Law, for example truestone from Spike. When Law is processed, it is no longer Law. I do not know what it is, though. The effect and logics propose Disorder.

The opinions have been changed to protect the innocent.
