Yes. It is. but we don't know the reason why Iron disrupts magic. Just that it does.

No. Its mentioned in several places in the literature, including the "Why I hate Mostali" articles currently on the Issaries site that all the dwarf iron is enchanted. It was enven mentioned that they could swap it around as it was a communal enchantment.

No. Then their Unstoppable Advance, Rolling Fire, Unbreakable Shield and similar spells wouldn't have worked.
In RQ II and III, Dwarfs were very, very magical and very canny operators.
Mind you, the image Roderick gives about the bessemer converter reminds me of an old issure of the Thor Comic book from the 80's...

I fear this is the case. In the literature, some are iron, some are silver, some are gold. I think some are bronze. They are a magical item that severs the link between a person and the Other Side where they get their magic from.
