Blessed Water
Properties
Material Characteristics
Blessed Water has been described as solidified light, yet clear.
Physical & Chemical Properties
If one were to reach their hand into the pool, they would feel water that is consistently warm to the touch, regardless of the environment. It almost feels like it's not there, yet it's also deeply there.
Geology & Geography
The only known natural source of blessed water is the "World Forge," where it is said the world supposedly originated. If this place still exists, then its location has been lost to history. It is believed to be located in the mountains of the central continent, but explorations over the Age of Restoration have not yet uncovered its exact location.
The Eldrin can convert regular water into blessed water, and it would thus be found wherever it was artifically created until it was used up.
Origin & Source
Blessed Water is the result of the element of water mixing with the fifth element, the energy of the soul, specifically energy from the Eldrin or the Father Himself. During the Age of Light, it was more common for one of the Eldrin to create blessed water, but since their disappearance, there is no way to artifically make it.
Life & Expiration
Blessed Water that is artifically made can hold its properties for roughly 10 years before losing its potency.
History & Usage
Everyday use
Infusion of Energy: The Record of the Great Storm suggests that soldiers were able to use Blessed Water to simulate a good night's sleep, allowing them to march longer distances or prepare for an incoming attack. Drinking a goblet of Blessed Water can refill a being's energy once, but each successive drink is less effective. This effect generally resets after a few days once the water is fully out of a being's system.
Healing and Disinfectant: Blessed Water can heal ailments and injuries that modern medicine has been unable to address.
Magical Flux: Using blessed water in the process of crucible forging creates a stronger final compound than what could be made with regular water.
Cultural Significance and Usage
Blessed Water is a direct gift from the Eldrin, the primordial beings that created the races of Elves, Men, and Dwarves. Thus, each race considers the substance a blessing and reveres it qualities and potential usage. Due to the rare nature of the water, it was not practical to use in any rituals, particularly since the disappearance of the Eldrin.
