trash it, no real use.
Until the day after you trash it. Then they will come out with some real gee-whiz-bang of a whopper use for it. But only after everyone trashes all they blackrock they are hoarding.

need to be able to create blockrock swords like "Ultima VII the forge of virtue" Coolest weapon ever in an RPG, sword contained a Demon.

Comments here gave me a few ideas for uses for blackrock:

1) Change the color of the weapon to something dark, close to black.

2) Use it to enhance 1 property on an item, even if it pushes it above cap, by X%. High chance to fail, chance to break item, 1 time use.

3) Weapons made of blackrock have an item property cap of XXX (Won't include leather/cloth, for metal armor and weapons only). They are brittle, and quantity required will vary based on item being crafted.

4) Can make plate armor medible without using a property slot. Takes 25 blackrock per piece. (Come on.. Plate is useless.. Throw those of us who like to be stylin' a bone!)

Random thoughts.

It can be used to kill the black whisps that put that shield up around them, if you have black rock in your back pack it allows you to by-pass their shield. Good for the Litch Spawn in SA
