Voidstone

Voidstone
  Sourcing: Carved from fragments of comets that pass through unusually dark spaces. Appearance: Matte black stone that absorbs light and sound. Use: Nullifies magic and creates zones of silence. Trade Route: Extracted from otherworldly regions near dimensional rifts, Voidstone is typically traded via clandestine markets or under-the-table deals in arcane cities like Riftgate or Shadowspire. Merchants often sail through foggy, treacherous seas where planar energy seeps into the water, as these routes avoid conventional patrols. Interested Buyers: Shadow mages, assassins, and high-ranking members of secretive organizations covet Voidstone for its ability to nullify magic. It’s also sought after by royal courts to protect vaults or chambers from magical espionage. Transportation Considerations: Voidstone’s magic-dampening properties can disrupt enchanted transport, so mundane methods like ox-drawn wagons or wind-powered ships are preferred. Prolonged exposure can cause fatigue or nausea for handlers, requiring frequent rotation of workers.
