Matter Penetrator is a simple-looking pick-axe with a gnarled wood haft and pitted metal head. The gnarled wood haft is an unknown type of wood found nowhere on Bal-Kriav. The metal axe-head is composed of Demiurgic Iron. During its forging, the metal was immersed in the blood of Nakh-Zennîm, thereby pitting the head and opening a way to imbue the item with great magic.
Matter Penetrator is a +6 ghost touch thundering sonic blast pick-axe. Forged inside the gut of Dališar, it was crafted by Naraz-Nâru when he was still an archangel. The also then archangel Arcana helped with the enchantments.
In the Dawn Era, Naraz-Nâru used this weapon and two other artifacts to destroy the Entropy Arch at Piranoth Cyst. The destruction of the Arch tainted the weapon with the property Entropic Corruption. In the First Epoch, Volgad wizards of the Šukhan Legion used the pick-axe to a cut a piece out of the Cube of Arcane. When they did this, the weapon was imbued with the property Cube Taint.
Matter Penetrator is part of a group of artifacts that when brought together become a legendary artifact called Sig Mak Gan.
