| + | ==== Aetherite ==== | ||
| + | A magical crystal that was discovered in Jaern following the Great Wave. While this crystal functions similar to Terisium-2 in its ability to hold magic, it is capable of being recharged through the careful application of magic by a trained professional. These crystals have recently begun to be fashioned into small appliances that have been used to improve daily life on Jaern, from lighters to cleaning utensils, though some researchers have been able to concentrate their power into aetheric orbs, which can be used as powerful foci for magic. | ||

| - | This pitch-black stone is strangely sharp and light for its appearance, resembling a heftier version of obsidian.

| + | |||
| + | Activating jinghua requires two things: exposure to radiation, and exposure to an organic fluid like blood. After this, it begins to glow and thrum, becoming brighter when close to a leyline. Activated jinghua is capable of initiating and exacerbating a deadly ailment known as //Leyline Sickness//, which can take many forms and can cause grotesque mutations. | ||

| + | Milphite is an essential component of airships, as it provides the ability for these vehicles to fly. Other levitating vehicles also use milphite in their construction. Although it is too brittle and volatile to be used as armor or weaponry, it is still an important material in the world. | ||
