Some materials confer certain benefits or penalties on the items they are part of. When completing a craft using a material, the effects of that material are applied to the item.

Magical Ingredients
Herbs and Fungi
Magical herbs and fungi can be found in the wilds and require foraging. These ingredients have their own magical effects which usually occur when ingested, but the effects are always enhanced by crafting or enchanting. See Foraging for more details on these items.
Monster Parts
The majority of ingredients used in enchanting are monster parts. All monsters can be harvested when slain, but only some parts are useful for crafting or enchanting. The table on the following page gives more details on monster parts and where the monsters that provide them can be found. See Hunting for more details on how to find a specific monster.
Magical Critter Carapace
Some critters are covered in chitinous armour which is stronger than regular chitin. This chitin does not carry the -1 AC or damage penalty, or the fragile quality.
