Ryanite
Ryanite is an organic, magical material that takes the appearance of gemstones. It is an incredibly rare and sought-after substance with many uses. It can enhance the abilities of a living creature, or grant "life" to an artificer's creation or warforged. Infusing ryanite is an elaborate process that requires precision, care, and often thousands of gold pieces worth of resources. Some people turn to cruder methods of taking ryanite as a result, such as snorting the shards for a quick burst of energy. This can be a very dangerous practice, but one that many seek in order to quickly enhance their abilities.
Ryanite contains different properties depending on its color. It may have many effects on artificer's creations or on warforged, but below is a list of effects it may have on adventurers.

Adverse Effects
The consumption (Snorting) of Ryanite is a slippery slope. Due to the instant surge of power, no matter the color that creature must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 2) or they become addicted to the material This DC increases by 2 after each subsequent consumption. In terms of Infusion, that is a dangerous deadly path. There is a 45% chance during the process the subject will go mad and go into a blood-frenzied rage, they are pushed to insanity. They beg to be killed but are easily influenced by Ryanite, just the same as dogs are to treats. With the promise of more Ryanite, they will obey. Successful infusion is permanent. The powerful mineral has the power to return the dead to the realm of the living. If an infused subject dies, there is a 10% chance they will return to life in an hour.Famous Warforged
