## Ingredients

### Organic Matter

Organic Matter (OM) are the essential components of living matter which are needed for Crafting. OM comes directly from the essence of Weka energy throughout the Realm.

OM allows allows players to infuse crystals, create elixir, craft, and upgrade items. Explore, trade, complete Quests and fight to collect more than 30 different OM, each with a variety of both strong and weak properties.

Almost every OM has 2 Properties. Properties differ in terms of type and amount, allowing for many different combinations to create Recipes. Some OM are rarer than others. The OM are categorized into Common, Rare, Epic and Legendary; rarer OM have higher amounts of Properties. OM can be found throughout the world of Azoria from plants, to trees, to animals.

Some examples of OM are Aloe Vera Flowers (20 Life Force, 10 Power, Common), Jelly Pads Flowers (80 Life Force, 50 Manifestation, Legendary), Yellow Glowing Mushrooms (50 Lifesteal, Light, Rare ), Lizard Dog Scales (Toxicity, Speed, Rare), Driftwood Logs (50 Resistance, Terra, Rare), Violet Arrow Bush (20 Agility, Knowledge, Common).

## Crystals

Crystals can be used to harness the power of Weka to cast spells.

Each one of the 17 Crystals can be attached to any part of the Modular  Weapon and to the Glove, which has 2 slots. Based on where the Crystal is attached, the Player obtains a different Spell, for a total of more than 80 Spells.

Crystals are usually found in the game in an Empty form, holding no powers. For an Empty Crystal to become usable, it needs to be Infused, which will turn it into one of the 17 Crystals based on the OM used. An infusion table and a formula wheel are needed for Infusion.

Different Crystals have different numbers of Maximum Charges they can hold, the more charges a Crystal can hold, the more Spells it can cast before it gets depleted. A Player can always use OM and Weka to Recharge a Crystal, from the Character Menu.

### Infusion

Infusion is a process that has to take place at the Resonance Table. Working with the Resonance Table requires no Weka, as the Table is already powered by it.

In Origins, recipes are based on OM’s Properties. Each Recipe is composed of 2 essential ingredients and an optional one. The main two are the Core, which is the ingredient giving qualities to Crystals (OM with Life Force make Crystals heal, OM with Resonance can create Crystals based on Weka, etc.), and the Catalyst,  a secondary ingredient used to activate the reaction inside the Crystal. The Core and the Catalyst need to be of the same amount in order to complete the reaction and this amount has to be equal to the maximum number of Charges the Crystal can hold. For each Crystal, the Player has 3 Core slots and 2 Catalyst slots, which it can use freely, with any amount of OM.

To turn an Empty Crystal with 100 Maximum Charges into a Life Force Crystal, the Player needs OM with 100 Life Force (Core) and OM with 100 Lifesteal and/or Resistance (Catalyst).

Here are some examples of the ingredients that can be used to infuse a Life Force Crystal with 100 Maximum Charges: Jelly Pads Flowers (80 Life Force, 50 Manifestation), Red Fern Powder (20 Life Force, Fire), Driftwood Logs (50 Resistance, Terra), Purple Berries (30 Resonance, 10 Life Force), Big Beast Fangs (Fear, 30 Lifesteal), Yellow Glowing Mushrooms (50 Lifesteal, Light).

Example combinations to infuse a Life Force Crystal with 100 Maximum Charges:

* **Core Ingredients, Example 1:** 1 Jelly Pad Flower (80 Life Force) + 1 Red Fern Powder (20 Life Force); Catalyst Ingredients: 2 Big Beast Fangs (30x2 Lifesteal) + 1 Driftwood Log (50 Resistance). This is NOT a convenient way to Infuse this Crystal, since we are using 100 Life Force and 110 Lifesteal/Resistance, losing the excess 10.
* **Core Ingredients, Example 2:** 4 Red Fern Powder (4x20 Life Force) + 2 Purple Berries (2x10 Life Force); Catalyst Ingredients: 1 Yellow Glowing Mushroom (50 Lifesteal) + 1 Driftwood Log (50 Resistance).

### Extraction

To Recharge a Crystal and bring it back to new life, the creation of Extracts has to take place first. Every OM can be turned into an Extract, based on their Properties.

An OM with Life Force can be used to create a Life Force Extract, which then can be used to charge a Life Force Crystal! Better OM with higher properties will result in higher amounts of Extracts produced, leading to an easier charging.

### Recharge

Recharging a Crystal is a very straightforward process that takes place in the Inventory. After selecting a Crystal, just choose how many charges to be recharged and click confirm!

* A Crystal can be recharged in the Inventory, while infusion can only happen at the Resonance Table.
* Charging a Crystal doesn’t require the full amount of charges, it can be charged by any percentage based on the number of Extract units used.

## Elixir

Recipes allow players to reconnect with ancient wisdom to create powerful elixir that can heal or grant extra capabilities. elixir are also available for purchase at the marketplaces around Azoria from OM Experts. Having elixir not only helps players take care of their own needs but also builds relationships with the inhabitants of Azoria. You never know when you might stumble upon an injured Azorian who is in desperate need of a healing elixir. If you choose to help, a friendship might emerge. So, it’s always a good idea to have some extra elixir in your inventory for those unexpected needs.
