Armor
The amount of dimeritium in the armor determines the
protection from magic that is granted to the wearer.
Dimeritium armor is extremely rare, as the amount of metal
needed to make them is difficult to procur and thus making
them invaluable. Armor made from dimeritium can not be
enchanted.
Light Armor
Light armor that includes dimeritium grants it's wearer
advantage on any saves vs. magic.
Medium Armor
Medium armor grants the wearer limited magic immunity
(Level 1 and Level 2 Spells) as well as advantage on saves
against any higher level magical effects.
Heavy Armor
Heavy grants limited magic immunity to spells from 1st to 4th
level, as well as conferring advantage on saves vs. magic.

Closing Notes/Credits:
This is loosely based off dimeritium that is present in the
Witcher 3 "The Wild Hunt" video game, developed by CD
Projekt RED. The Witcher Series is based off the novels by
Andrezej Sapkowski, so I honestly am not sure who precisely
I should be crediting here. I own neither, and only attempted
to show an interpretation for use with 5th Edition Dungeons
and Dragon rules to be used in a home game.
The concept itself is not a new one, and could be renamed
any number of things, or even be included in other materials
(in some versions of D&D, I recall Mithril being resistant to
magic, for example) so the name could be changed to suit the
world and setting as needed. I left it as Dimeritium for simple
expedience, and may rename it if I can come up with
something I actually like more.
I debated actually having the material be poisonous or
lethal over longer periods of exposure, or have other side
effects, and may in a future version include that kind of
optional rule. Because why not.
