Thaumium (Thaumcraft 1)

Thaumium is a mystical infusion of iron and vis crystals, resulting in a metal with strength and durability greater than iron, but the ability to absorb magical enchantments that outstrip all other materials except possibly gold.

Thaumium Ingots, Tools and Armor

Thaumium ingots are created by placing iron ingots in an infuser along with a vis crystal. The resulting ingots can be used to craft tools and armor as normal.

Thaumium tools and armor have similar defensive, harvesting and damaging properties as iron, but is more durable and can be enchanted very easily like items crafted from gold. Thaumium tools can harvest the same blocks as diamond tools. NOTE: If you have Redpower or similar Forge mods that add silver ore to the game, you can use that instead of iron to create thaumium.
