Name of Material: Uleudian Crystal
Type of Material: Craftable
How To Gather: Meditation
Skill Level/Skills Needed: Competent to gain crystal from the Crystal Forest, Expert to gather from places around the city of Uleuda, Master to gather from Yldria itself.
Rarity: Common in Uleuda, nonexistent elsewhere.
Durability: Basic crystals come from the Crystal Forest, Average Crystals come from the city of Uleuda, Masterwork Crystals come from Yldria
Estimated Price: Can't be purchased or transferred to Idalos. Otherwise Free to the one who harvests it. One must transfer knowledge to a crystal surface somewhere in Uleuda, in order to grow a crystal from it. Then harvest it with intent and will (Meditation). This requires the making of a thread where the crystal is listed as loot.
Native to: Uleuda
Crafting Information: To give shape to an Uleudian Crystal within Uleuda, the Yludih must be intimately familiar with a substance or object in Idalos. Thus, using the knowledge of the materials that go into the formation of such objects, they will transfer the memory of it, the properties and shape to a raw crystal. The crystal will then start to morph and refract until it resembles that item, albeit made from a prismatic Uleudian crystal with the shape of that object. At first, only solid objects can be manipulated at Competent, moving on to liquids at master, and perhaps even other phases of matter beyond Master meditation. Just about any item can be created, but a Yludih must be intimately familiar with it, either through possession of an Idalos version of that item, or else knowledge of how it's created in Idalos.
The Nulliem existing in the outskirts of Uleuda are vulnerable to these crystalline creations (one of the few things that can injure them from mere contact besides flashes of pure light), but also aggressive toward those who hold them. Theys are diminished by contact with the object, to the point where momentary contact can sever and shred entire limbs or sections from their body. Persistent contact will continually shrink them until they fade to nothing. Suits of armor have even been known to be made from them, and some of the most impressive warriors of Uleuda have entire sets that they've built themselves, their crystals coaxed from the heart of Yldria.
Often enough, as one becomes more capable of focusing their will through meditation, more properties can be imbued to a crystal object, beyond what is normally possible. By imbuing the crystal with the properties of rubber, they can make the Uleudian version of their average steel sword bounce like a rubber ball, for instance, while still sharp as the steel of the object it was natively inspired by. This creative property imbuing becomes available at expert, with one extra property that deviates from the object that they were aware of. At master, two additional properties can be imbued into Uleudian crystal.
