Tempered Crystal is a strengthened form of the crystal commonly found on the Kentoku Archipelago, often used as the basis for Dasakan weapons and armor. It is often blue or teal. Ringti smiths and artisans refine and shape tempered crystal through highly concentrated Soulsword and Mindarm processes, eventually creating products that are commonly owned by Dasakans. In Dasakan society it is analogous to metal due to its durability allowing similar industrial and military uses while being orders of magnitude cheaper and more commonplace than metal ores.
Properties
Tempered crystal is remarkably durable when forged into weaponry and armor. Unlike metallic equivalents, tempered crystal blades and armor plating tend to crack and shatter instead of bending, due to the less malleable underlying nature. It has high heat resistance, offering a nonzero amount of protection against soulsword blades compared to wood or weak metals like iron and steel. It is roughly equivalent to Protosteel in its protective nature, where glancing blows won't slice straight through, but multiple strikes or prolonged contact will melt through.
