Kerauno
Kerauno forms naturally from the condensation of arcane energies where powerful wind currents converge. The process is thought to be a direct by-product of the Nýfada's influence, as the material often carries faint, unique patterns resembling snowflakes. It can only be harvested in places of extreme turbulence, such as the peaks of Stormborne Cliffs or the edges of Goliamoth's during seasonal migrations.
The process of collecting Kerauno is perilous, requiring precision, protective enchantments, and deep respect for its origins. The material dissolves instantly if mishandled or exposed to impure intentions, making it even more precious.
Properties
Physical Fragility:
Kerauno is almost weightless and as thin as a whisper, shattering or dissipating at the slightest force.
Magical Resonance:
Despite its fragility, it holds immense magical energy, amplifying spells or imbuing items with unique properties.
Unique Reflective Qualities:
It reflects light and sound in a mesmerizing way, creating illusions or soft glows that shift with the wind.
Uses
Due to its rarity and delicacy, Kerauno is used only in the most exotic creations, reserved for those who can afford its exorbitant value or prove worthy of its application.
Artistry:
Master artisans craft Kerauno paintings, breath taking artworks that shimmer and change with the wind, often commissioned by nobility or temples.
Mystical Apparel:
Kerauno is sometimes woven into robes of windweaving, garments worn by high priests or champions of the Nýfada. These robes are said to render the wearer untouchable, making them appear as part of the sky itself.
Arcane Relics:
The material is used to craft Kerauno Sigils, tiny snowflake-shaped amulets that enhance the wearer’s connection to the Nýfada or amplify spells related to air, light, or illusion.
Musical Instruments:
Rare instruments such as Windchimes of Tomos are created with strands of Kerauno, producing sounds so ethereal they’re said to calm storms or soothe Goliamoth's.
