Midnight Stone

This component is usually salvaged as mottled black-and-green lumps of a solid, stone-like material, as smooth to the touch as river rocks or eggs. Midnight stones are highly reactive because they contain a volatile substance called void matter. Although they could be induced to provide a myriad of cypher-like effects, those effects are almost always random and as likely to be dangerous as helpful. So crafters usually focus on midnight stones’ utility for growing and self-mending, allowing them to create immense structures that can last almost indefinitely. When one stone is used as an additional component in a crafting task, the resulting object is treated as 1 level higher for the purposes of resisting attacks and damage.

Midnight stones can also create a variety of other effects, but it’s difficult to control such outcomes.
