The first person to discover and harness the power of this material has been lost to time, but it is certain that terisium enchantment drove much of the development of civilization. +Inquiry into terisium has existed since the era of [[settings:torandor|Torandor]], thousands of years ago.

 The acclaimed mage Jican Trion discovered that terisium did not entirely exist on the material plane, and began to experiment to see how he could harness this fact and exploit the planar connections of the material. Eventually, he discovered that enough life-force applied to terisium did not destroy it, as was previously thought, but energized it fully into a between-planes state such that it was no longer physical. The acclaimed mage Jican Trion discovered that terisium did not entirely exist on the material plane, and began to experiment to see how he could harness this fact and exploit the planar connections of the material.

-It takes an incredible amount of energy to catalyze terisium to this form. Here, it once again coalesces into physical form - this time, being a crystal of cubic shape that can be a multitude of colors. The shifting shimmer seen in lower forms is still present, winding slowly across the crystal's entire surface. +It takes an incredible amount of energy to catalyze terisium to this form. Here, it once again coalesces into physical form - this time, being a crystal of cubic shape that can be a multitude of colors. The shifting shimmer seen in lower forms is still present, winding slowly across the crystal's entire surface. Current magical study has yielded no way to create Terisium-1000; these crystals must be found from ruins, or one must convince a greater being such as a god to catalyze one.
  
 In this form, terisium is capable of resonating with magic and the natural abilities of people who know how to tap into its power, bolstering power and skill just a little. Adventurers have taken to calling T-1000 by a simple, almost provincial name: Skill Gems. In this form, terisium is capable of resonating with magic and the natural abilities of people who know how to tap into its power, bolstering power and skill just a little.
