Zinza, The Energy of Stability
Zinza is one of the most common of the arcane energies and it's clear to see why. It is the element that keeps things from going wild in unexpected ways. It's more than sameness. It's slow progression. It's deliberate modification. Zinza is the strength that comes from knowing exactly what one is and what one should be. WIthout it, nothing could exist.
Zinza is the element of 'stability'. It manifests primarily as change resistant materials such as stones, metals, minerals, etc. It is neutral with Sindayo energy and Hoxa, the yielding energy
Zinza Manifestations
Zinza is nevery directly offensive though it can be used to hinder something to the point it is easier to harm.
Most manifestations of zinza result it something becoming hardened or resistant to change. Pure Zinza never has a liquid or gaseous form. Below are the pure Zinza manifestations.
- Create/Transform
- Compact
- Fortify
- Resist
Create/Transform
When creating or transforming something to zinza, it becomes a generic stone-like substance. Stone manifested by shakti is uniform in color and crumbles into a chalk like substance. It also will resist erosion from the wind but give freely to fire and water. With magic water, it will liquify into a muddy slurry and then harden back into magic stone. With magic fire, it will liquify and harden into a metal-like substance. Magic Acid will consume zinza stone completely.
Compact (Double Weight)
Zinza energy can make solid things double in weight. The items become more dense without becoming hardened. This effect is does not prevent things from working as they normally would if they have mechanical or moving parts.
For example, making cloth more dense will make it heavier but it will still be pliable as long as it can be moved by something. It can still be pierced, dyed, and enchanted.
Fortify (+Durability or DR/-ACC or DEX)
In order to make an item more resistant to damage or harm, zinza magic can be used to fortify it.
Resist (+Saving Attribute/-Raw Attribute
