Ores (My Normal Obsession)

== Introduction ==
My Normal Obsession has several ores that can be mined, dropped from bosses or enemies, or bought from NPCs. They serve as vital components in crafting valuable weapons, trinkets, and armor, usually with a unique property that sets them apart from the others. Ores typically have a few different forms depending on how raw or how processed they are, although not all ores are metallic enough to be melted (or require the player to visit special locations to refine them).
== BloodStone ==
BloodStone, in its natural form, is a raw, dark green gem with red chunks, and is found all over the world. Refined BloodStone is used primarily for healing/Blood magic, jewelry, and as a source of impure blood. Typically growing beneath graveyards and sites where people have died on the ground, it doesn't require much heat to form, and contains fresh blood matching the blood type of said corpse, albeit with several impurities that could potentially make it dangerous, and as such, the use of BloodStone in medical transfusions is strictly outlawed. Pure BloodStone has a black base color with bright, abundant red spots, as well as granite-like marbling. It's also heavily based on its real-life equivalent, except it contains actual blood.
Notable crafting recipes include the Chambered Ring, Weak and Dilute Healing Potions, Vital Choker, and the Leeching Dagger.
== Thaumium ==
A hazy metalloid that, when unprocessed, grows in verdelite-esque formations with patterns bearing a striking resemblance to those of Chevron amethyst. When processed at a furnace, however, it's a brittle metalloid with a dark base color and several purple streaks, although it's too fragile to make melee weapons with. It's sold raw in a few Scaran markets with a price ranging from 20 Praqra to 32 Praqra (depending on the current moon phase), but it can also be mined in some of Scaroff's caverns for free. Based on tumbled sugilite, it's a must for early-game mages, as it can be used to create various tomes, staves, wands, and even a cane or two for The Doctor. It's also useful for jewelry, bullets, and a few Alchemy-related items, usually inflicting the Confusion status effect.
Notable crafting recipes include the Book of Oracles, Weak and Dilute Flasks of Confusion, Book of Dishonor, Ring of Myth, Voltaire's Razor, Oracle's Cane, Priest's Recurve, and Borderline Ammunition.
== Sidonite ==
Sidonite is a deep blue, water-themed metal that's mostly used by Alchemists, with certain weapons and armor as an exception. It can be mined with a Lucirite or Gabrieite Pick, found in both of Emberfall's caves. Interestingly, Sidonite appears to be able to conjure sharp blades of water when molded into any kind of knife.
Notable crafting recipes include the Sidonite Gear and Tempest Robes.
== Lucirite ==
Lucirite is a major type of non-metallic "steel" that's both strong and light. It can be mined with a Lucirite Pickaxe given to the player before fighting Hell's Guardian and grows in large stalagmites reaching up to 6 meters tall. When molded into a two-part weapon, Lucirite will use an electromagnetic plasma to hold the two segments together, allowing for swifter attacks due to the reduced torque load. Due to its high resistance to heat, Lucirite must be smelted in a Brimstone furnace.
Notable recipes include the Satanic Bible, Beelzebuss, Lucirite Cuirass, Charm of Misfortune, and Revolt Dagger.
