Elderium

Rarity: Rare Color: An Obsidian-like color, with hints of purple near its many edges. Location: Hilly Areas

Description

Elderium is an obsidian-like material found near leylines in volcanic areas. Though its creation process is entirely unknown or irreparable, the stone seems to be a rare find, one that the leylines seem adverse to. Because of this, Elderium often is found near arcamite stones, which tend to override and ruin Elderium. Elderium is most oft used by non-mages to fight mages, feymarked, and runecrafters since ancient times as it limits their magic and sickens them.

Special

• Elderium is largely toxic to mana users and burns their skin on contact or even through clothing, making it a very dangerous tool for them. Elderium when coming into contact with active magic spells is able to activate them preemptively (ex: if a fireball is launched at someone with an elderium stone, they can throw the stone to have the fireball burst early, saving themselves from potential harm. This can only be done once before the stone breaks and becomes unusable.) When a mana user is struck with elderium, their concentration is broken and they are unable to cast for two turns after being injured by it. This is able to be achieved by rolling on a 1d20 and getting a 10+ for accurately landing the projectile.
