This is fantasy. Dungeon fantasy. Why wouldn't a meteor be made of 100% meteoric metal???

Oh god! You're trying to kill the catfolk aren't you? You're 'Intolerance: Catfolk' has been upgraded into 'Fanaticism: Kill all Catfolk with science' hasn't it? You monster.

I don't know where this came from, but I suspect the same place all genius does! You have me laughing (maniacally) with glee that I finally have a victim capable of understanding the subtlty of my plans! Now, if I can only turn you to the Cause...

Who says meteoric rock isn't equally immune? It's just that magic-immune pebbles are generally less useful than magic-immune iron.

Wouldn't all parts of a meteor be "meteoric"?

Who say it is? Meteoric rock isn't called out in DF (that I know of...?), but meteoric metal (iron?) is. So it seems to be a GM call.

"Meteoric" doesn't carry any special properties all on its own, as far as I know, in DF. Meteoric iron, though, is specifically called out as being immune to magic.
