Aethene Crystals

Written by Pookas Kreations

These crystals are a unique material that generates a persistent anti-magic field. These crystal clusters destabilize or dampen magical energies within their area of effect.

Manifestation

Frequency Dampening: the principle is that Aethene naturally generates a powerful, persistent, and localized Frequency Dampening Field due to its crystaline structure, which operates like a complex harmonic resonator tuned to negate magical wavelengths.
  • Effect: this field is treated as a permanent, non-magical Anti-Magic Field, but its origin is a purely natural, extraordinary property of the rock itself.

Localization

Aethene Suppression Zone (localized field) This applies to areas with concentrated Aethene pockets (like the tunnels within Kelah Weyr or around other large crystal veins).
  • Area of Effect: functions identically to the Anti-Magic Field spell.
  • Effect (Spell Nullification): no spell can be cast, activated, or manifested within the Zone. All ongoing magical effects that enter the Zone are suppressed for the duration that they remain.
  • Magical Items: those brought inside into the zone cease to function, and their magical bonuses are nullified while inside. They still function as a Masterwork Sword.
  • Supernatural Abilities: A creature's supernatural abilities are also suppressed.
The effect is Extraordinary (Ex) because it is a natural, biological/geological property of the material, not a supernatural power. It cannot be dispelled. Aethene Attenuation Aura (Island Shield) This applies to the broad area around the Azure Chain's surface (the outer crust), where the Aethene layer is thinner but still pervasive. It is stronger around the Weyr, but there are many pockets and veings on the other islands.  
  • Area of Effect: A wide area of 4 miles from the Kelah Caldera; 2 miles from the other islands.
  • This ability doesn't affect psionics or divine magic.
