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 specific Soulsword and Mindarm processes, eventually creating products that are commonly owned by Dasakans.[1] 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 when breaking instead of bending and deforming, due to the material being less malleable than metals. It has relatively 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 vs Soulswords, where glancing blows won't slice straight through weapons or armor, but multiple strikes or prolonged contact will melt through in short order.
Tempered crystal can only be repaired by Ringti smiths, as its manufacture and maintenance is not known to smiths outside of Dasakan society.
Known Uses
- Dasakan armor
- Dasakan ships
- Dasakan weaponry
- Dasakan tools & technology
