Blightglass

Blightglass appears as jagged crystalline shards, often hexagonal or needle-like. Its surface reflects ambient magic with oily sheen and flickering glimmers of inner decay. The longer it's held, the more it feels like it pulses faintly, as if alive.

Blightglass in its raw form is warm to the touch despite ambient temperature. It also fractures easily and often violently when exposed to divine energies. It absorbs light in dim environments, giving the appearance of drinking it in and can store or channel necrotic and entropic energy.

Found only in areas where Vrothak’s influence has taken root—especially in corrupted leyline sites and collapsed holy ground.

Forms naturally when corrupted magical energies and necrotic leyline fractures converge. Some shards are believed to be crystallized “tears” from Lord Vrothak, the Decayed Sovereign's presence, or byproducts of rituals gone awry.

Unstable, but does not decay naturally and can retain necrotic potency for centuries unless ritually nullified

First appeared after the fall of the Abericlase, deep beneath Bokdat. Initially mistaken for a new arcane gemstone, it was quickly outlawed after mages, clerics, and artisans began to suffer hallucinations, corruption, and madness.

Rediscovered by Thorned Court agents during early excavations under Bokdat's ruined temple. Originally handled by Ilmosian monks, who died purging it.

Banned. Commoners are forbidden from even touching it.

Can be cut and shaped by necrotic fire and ritualized tools. Requires masks, prayer wards, and protective enchantments to handle safely.

Pollutes soil, water, and air with necrotic residue. Kills or warps local flora and fauna. Interferes with leyline balance and divine presence

Seen as heretical contraband by most governments and Ilmos based churches

Kept in sealed, runed containers lined with lead or blackwood
