I believe it is already mentioned in the wiki? Yeah, most gods will only handle aligned materials. Loricatus will only harden items made from the ferrous chain -- copper, bronze, iron, steel, meteoric steel. (And adamant, if that hardened to anything else.) Tin too, maybe; I forget.
Yeah, the Wiki's exact words are "Your weapon's material may not be able to harden. In this case, you may want to temporarily "wield" your gauntlets or some other item that needs hardening."
I've also noticed that they *will* swap existing artificial limbs out for better ones even if they're not aligned; I've had Silvia, Sophos, and Loricatus change my arm from missing to parchment to citrine to adamant when all I really wanted was a teleport, an earthquake, and a sharper sword.
Going to go ahead and edit it now.
EDIT: Done! I think I did a rather good job.
Also, here's the formula I found
"the probability of hardening is 1/x where x = max(intelligence requirement - relation/50, 1). Intelligence requirement for meteoric steel is 15, so you should always succeed if you are a champion (relation = 1000). Intelligence requirement for adamantium is 40, so you have 5% chance."
