Notable Materials

There are several naturally ocurring resources and materials within the Overworld and connected realms that have unique properties that are either consistently present, or can be accessed through other means. The following is a list of these known unique materials.
==Glowstone==
Glowstone is a naturally occurring crystalline formation found in the Nether that was named for the unique "glow" it constantly emits. Studies into Glowstone have revealed that it is one of the single most powerful and plentiful sources of natural magic in all known realms, and the "glow" it gives off is actually its mystical energy. Any creature from the Overworld who comes into contact with Glowstone will experience rapid cellular growth, which often leads to more rapid healing but can also accelerate forms of cancer. This same effect that is actively harmful to Nether Spirits, and so Glowstone is the single greatest defense against them. Developments to Glowstone have also led to the invention of the Glowstone Engine, which allows for the existence of Airships.
==Obsidian==
Obsidian is capable of tearing open a portal to the Nether when an enclosed ring of it is lit on fire. 
==Soul Sand==
Soul Sand is a thick, sticky substance found throughout the Nether that is often an inconvenience, or even sometimes a death sentence, to explorers. Any Nether Spirit that happens to pass through Soul Sand will become trapped indefinitely, and can even sometimes leave expressions on the sand that resemble faces, hence the name "Soul" Sand.
==Crimsonite==
Crimsonite is a substance that can be derived from Netherrack. It possesses numerous interesting thermal properties, and can sometimes be used as fuel.
==Mycelium==
Mycelium is a naturally occurring species of grass found in the Overworld that contains a special type of algae that is capable of enhancing or strengthening both magical energies and electrical signals.
==Lapis Lazuli==
Lapis Lazuli is just a rock, but based on evidence gathered during the Midlands Expeditions, large quantities of the substance is capable of weakening Keepers. Lapis Lazuli was used by the Trikash to imprison Osphreki from hundreds of years, and it's believed that absurdly large quantities could be enough to kill a Keeper.
==Endstone==
Endstone is the primary material found in The End, and comprise the entirety of the floating islands found there. It has been observed that Endstone is capable of absorbing harmful Void energy, and has promptly created an "atmosphere" around itself in the End.
==Redstone==
Redstone is a mineral found in the Overworld that contains an innate electrical charge that can be used to carry electrical signals.
==Netherrack==
Netherrack is a brittle, highly flammable substance found in the Nether that can be refined into Crimsonite.
