Obsidian

Obsidian is crafting material associated with fire. It is formed with a combination of fast cooling lava and often used as a medium for enchanting, focuses, wand crystals, arrow tips, and many different melee implements. Obsidian can be made into melee implements and primarily blades as the brittle nature of the material prevents it from being used for striking or stabbing.
There are a few variations of Obsidian, each with their own properties:

• Snowflake Obsidian: Which is used for Ice magic.

• Clear Obsidian: Less brittle and more durable

• Fire Obsidian: Slightly reddish, used for high level fire spells

• Blue Obsidian: Often used for Dark magics
