Convictium

"Sticks and stones won't break the armor, not without the addition of words to soften it up first."
-Aetheric Metallurgy Guidebook: Convictium

Properties

Material Characteristics

Owing to the process of its creation, Convictium can take the shape of any common metal, though most applications take on the appearance of steel or titanium.

Physical & Chemical Properties

Convictium is composed of aether heavily aspected to an affinity towards Metal. Unlike other materials that are constructed in a similar manner, such as Aetherstone, Convictium is directly tied to its bearer, allowing it to exhibit properties directly tied to the strength of will of its owner. This trait makes Convictium a favored material for soldiers with a steadfast state of mind.

Geology & Geography

Occurs rarely in areas with extremely aspected aether.

Origin & Source

Typically produced by advanced aetherial manipulators for specific applications. The creation of this material requires a great deal of control over aetherial composition and has yet to be automated successfully.

Life & Expiration

Applications of Convictium grow unstable over time when not actively wielded by an individual.

History & Usage

Discovery

While many cultures stumbled upon this material through accident, experimentation or literature, it is not known when the first discovery took place.

Everyday use

While Convictium sees little use throughout the universe, a notable exception is its widespread application on the world of Eteras Minor, where the creation of a Convictium has become a coming-of-age rite for most of the populace.

Reusability & Recycling

Convictium relics are an abundant source of aether if broken back down to an unaspected state, requiring a high density of it to construct it originally, which is retained in its metallic form.
