Blackrock possesses the unusual property of being almost completely magically inert. In fact, it absorbs or blocks most magic. That means it cannot be manipulated, processed or destroyed by [[spells]] directly. It is thus often used for construction in places where protection against magic is important, such as magistry buildings or magic prisons.

Due to its resistance to magic, blackrock can only be mined using mining drills and non-magic explosives. However, this also means that spells causing explosions as a secondary effect can also be used to damage structures made from this material.
