Chunk of Illithium Alloy

Illithium Alloy is a hybridized metal, a melding of Illithium Ore and some unknown other substance, that Jerlia the Ore Merchant can create for the player in addition to or instead of seeking out Unger Hilldark in order to Gain the Services of Sir Sarles for the Temple.

The Illithium Alloy takes the form of a rough trapezoid of shining silver material. Although indistinguishable to a common eye, to a trained metalworker, it is clearly not pure Illithium, as it holds smears and smudges.

If presented to Sir Sarles, he will be fooled for only a moment, then realize what it is and, insulted, he will leave Athkatla. Upon reporting their failure to the sub-priest, the high priest will spot the Alloy and mistake it for Sir Sarles' sculpture, happily accepting it as a worthy dedication to their god.

Though this gives less of a reward than giving Sir Sarles the Ore, it does allow the player to keep the Ore and use it to empower the Mace of Disruption through the efforts of Cromwell.
