Lost Crystal
A rare element found only near dragon nests. It is critical in the construction and functioning of Iwhute. These crystals are remnants of the ley lines that were destroyed in the Last Continental War.
Properties
Material Characteristics
Clear, though may contain inclusions depending on what elements were present during the crystal's growth. Typically a six-sided crystalline point structure.
Geology & Geography
Once found commonly all across Argentii, the removal of large, deep veins of this material led to the separation of the once united land of Argentii into several distinct regions at the end of the First Age.
The only known remains of the substance are those shards serving as critical components within individual iwhute across the continent, along with one single sliver that lives inside a wooden box in the bed chamber of Ploui Jirs, Spu.
Life & Expiration
Lost crystal produces a low-level of radiation that is critical for its function within iwhute. When regulated with dragonbone, this radiation becomes the blanketing magical energy that powers all of modern Argentii's Technomaniacal Contraptions. Otherwise, it exposure is quite dangerous.
Unregulated exposure to the radiation produced by this crystal is dangerous and has been demonstrated to affect the formulation of new neural connections in the brains of vertibrates and invertibrates, even as it provides regenerative properties at the mitochondrial level in vertibrate cellular matter. These regenerative properties are not shared with exposed invertibrates.
Color
Typically clear, though may have inclusions depending on conditions at development.
