Vulcite

Description

Vulcite are stones blasted up to the surface from the unknowable depths of volcanic pools deep beneath the surface, unseen prior to the second Lucent-Ira war they glow with cracks of volcanic blazing warmth that shift from crimson to sangria like slow flames flickering in the glowing veins that spread throughout the rock. Vulcite is typically found as large charred boulders with the aforementioned cracks running throughout the stones are hot, very hot, surrounded by a heat haze that never fades completely and would burn flesh easily, these properties make them highly sought after by mages of both Pyromancy and Terramancy as well Belek followers who believe the stones emergence is tied to the war, seeing it as a gift from their eternal tyrant.

Special

• Vulcite has potential as a catalyst for both Pyromancers and Terramancers.
• Vulcite is constantly extremely hot to the touch, and can cause severe burns if held in contact long enough.
  • This temperature effect only extends to living flesh, but is generally only a hazard during crafting, or in very large quantities.
• Vulcite produces a constant low light level from the glowing cracks within it, but is highly sparkable.
  • If scraped against any kind of metal weapon, the stone shatters, but uses its energy to light the blade on fire.
  • If thrown against the ground or shattered in any way, the sparks created cause a bright flash of light that severely impairs and/or temporarily blinds any light-sensitive monsters or beings that were looking in that direction up to 10m away.
