Conductive Essence

== Overview ==
Conductive Essence is a fine material used as a magical component in particularly sensitive magical experiment and ritual, specifically Sigil Scribing, a process of Artificing. As the name implies, Conductive Essence is conductive of Arcane energy and is used to bridge and (when mixed with Arcane Essence) insulate the flow of Arcane Energy.
While Conductive Essence is well known across Aevonhold, it is normally used by experienced Artificers and engineers of magical technology. Because of this, the use of Conductive Essence is particularly widespread within Elterlein and Nobugo where many Arcane engineers and Artificers alike find themselves.
=== Refinement ===
Conductive Essence can be further refined for use within sensitive applications, within both Sigil Scribing and Arcane engineering. The process of refining Conductive Essence is quite involved, requiring the energy of a large amount of Conductive Essence to be deposited into a small amount of Conductive Essence which is finely ground.
== Appearance ==
In its mineral form, Conductive Essence takes on a porous form with a burgundy exterior. When the easily fractured material is broken apart, the color of the inside is a striking bright red that contains charcoal colored layered patterns every few inches. When the material is refined into a gravel-like material, its striking red color is dulled by the almost matte texture of the fractures.
When the Essence is further refined, it takes on the form of a fine powder with a blood red color. The powder itself almost absorbs light, creating an oddly smooth appearance within the fine material.Category:Magic
