Is it just a certain natural material, or a man made enchanted material. If its enchanted, dont you think its better suited for mage characters?

Stalhrim is a material created by Nord wizards for the purpose of encasing and preserving the bodies of the dead.

It later became used to craft weapons.

Thanks. Can I make a screenshot request?

Actually, Nord mages didn't craft it. It was made much more naturally. You see, Stalhrim is actually just Dragon tongue for "Ysgramor's Excrement". So you know that sweet set of armor you just crafted? Well that's actually the first companion's [censored].

If this is true then I'm gonna drop all my [censored] gear asap.

Actually, it's just solid ice. No big deal.
