On Materials

Although Practitioners in lingua_mundi need not be as familiar with the material sciences as some students of other disciplines are, there are some substances with which they are expected to handle proficiently.

Mana Stones are the impure form of the Mana Gems found deep underground. They are uncommonly found in the upper strata of the underground.

These stones can be refined into a powder if heated in a furnace. In this form, the refined stone becomes a powder of fairly pure crystallised mana, useful in a series of applications.

Infused Iron has a number of useful properties as a mana-infused metal. Of course, it can also be shaped in a number of ways.
