    The object called +1 Weapon in the magic item section of the Dungeon Master’s Guide is a magic item that incorporates metal.

    Makes no sense

      JC was/is drawing attention to the fact that, against some players’ misperceptions, adamantine (and mithral, as a side note) isn’t inherently magical. Certain magic items use adamantine in their creation (just as certain rare materials are often used in the creation of different magic items), but a sword that happens to be forged from adamantine isn’t itself inherently magical unless enchanted to be so.
