Spent Uranium Crossbow Bolts

Legend has it that the famous mage/metallurgist, Pete Padilla was trying to create a new metal for the molding in the stained glass windows on his tower, when he stumbled upon a metal that was exceedingly strong and amazingly dense. Later, while talking to his good friend Singebeard the legendary Dwarven Smith, he happened to mention the new metal he "accidentally" discovered. Needless to say Singebeard was excited by the find and asked for samples. What he finally came up with was a crossbow bolt with a spent uranium head. During tests of the new bolts they were both pleased to discover that the spent uranium heads pierced the strongest armor as if it wasn't even there. Eventually the two formed a lucrative partnership and soled the bolts all over the realms. Unfortunately they both died early in life because of a unique property of the new metal that Pete referred to as “decay”. The art of making the spent uranium bolts has been all but lost now, seeing as the process of making them is very hazardous, contributing to their extreme rarity.

*STATS*
