Icalaust

Properties

Material Characteristics

A flat stone of dull purple colour, that can fit in a pocket. It sometimes has layers of some kind of see through material, that can't be broken off and examined, but has to be worn off.

Physical & Chemical Properties

It's able to attract vast amounts of magical energy, and sends out a signal at certain levels of magic stimuli and momentarily turns dark. It is also eatable, but neither very nutritious nor tasty. The stone is of a peculiarly soft constitution.

Geology & Geography

Icalaust are found buried in piles of stone at beaches in Nitayo, but also those of Hokkaido. The stones are normally collected from the beaches so it is rare to just see one lying around.

Origin & Source

They form in the depths of the ocean from a clam, that has been crushed and reassembled more spaciously, and at some point washes ashore. More research is being conducted.

Life & Expiration

It can keep magical energy around it for an hour before it releases it again.

History & Usage

Everyday use

The stone is used to contact, others without leaving any long lasting marks. This is done by infusing it with magical energy with one of the other planes in mind. The communication functions like smoke signals would. They are normally used by organisations. It is also used when opening portals.

Cultural Significance and Usage

Purple people uses the Icalaust for calling upon favor.

Refinement

If the stone is in it's pure form it can be used, but if it is encapsulated in see through layers, it can't. Normally these would eventually wear off, but to speed up this process the Icalausts are put into ovens. This clears up one thing about the material on the Icalausts. It has double the boiling point of water. (200 degrees celsius)

Distribution

Trade & Market

Icalausts are sometimes sold in ordinary supermarkets in Nitayo, but not as a permanent product. They can also be products in drugstores, but the supply will never be really high.

Storage

Icalausts can be stored at room temperature, but preferably away from magic sources and energy, so that it won't suddenly send out a signal. The most surefire way of keeping them away from magic is having them in cases tailor made for them, so that there isn't space for the magic to get in. The only flaw this storage option has is the possibility, that magic will suddenly appear within the icalaust. This however is very unlikely.

Law & Regulation

They are not allowed to leave Nitayo or be sold in quantities higher than a dozen, for safety reasons, as you have to be extremely lucky to track an icalaust.
