Nassharite

Ervenian Era, 1051 AB
Nassharite, Commonly known as Leechstone, is a resinous, jet-black mineral that forms where Abyssal seepage saturates peat bogs, deltas, and drowned ruins, most infamously throughout the Mire of Otterbel. It looks like glassy coal veined with faint violet threads; when wetted it bleeds an oily halo and dims nearby lamplight.   Nassharite is somewhat closer to Nôlorith, abit with unique properties that leeches on and slowly strip blessing, vitality and cause diseases, the most famous among them, is the Blightburn.

Properties

Physical & Chemical Properties

Planar Hemostasis
The anti-teleport property, where raw Nassharite in walls, pylons, or flooring makes short-range teleportation, summons, and gate magic misfire or scatter (the space “slips” toward the nearest standing water). Layered rings can extend the denial field across a compound.   Demonic Magic is known to cause it to expand as much as Nôlorith. Devilish Magic is more potent to than the Demonic, causing it to be stronger at about 20% than the Demonic counterpart.  
Benison Drain
The mineral feeds like a leech... slowly stripping blessings, temporary vitality, and consecrations. Holy water left on it curdles to brine.

Origin & Source

Born where demonic ichor, bog-iron, and decayed organics compact under marsh pressure. The cultic dredges of Hayat Vahsh Aludehye Tidaritegar harvest it from “black lenses” beneath silted ziggurats, mostly from Abyssal Pool. smaller nodules wash up along Nassharilith Nyrish at neap tide.
