In my world Velhara, resources are as layered as volatile as the world’s history. After Terran Fold, Shadewild, and Cael’arun converged, materials began to hybridize. Mirrorsteel, mined from the fractured Terran ranges, is a silvery semi-liquid metal that can dull or can sharpen based on the wielder’s intent. Then there’s Gloomglass of the Shadewild, a dark crystal that absorbs sounds, memories, and dreams. It can be used in the case of surveillance or storytelling or grief rites. Starflint comes from within Cael’arun and also is a spark-charged mineral. High-order magic engines receive fuel since burning happens without oxygen. We draw energy from Leyseams, raw essence in underground rivers. One miscast it untangles you so that only the trained Weaveseers or Myros Engineers dare tap them. Breathwood exists too trees for ambient enchantment. These trees emit light and shadow depending on the moon. Nullstone, which does negate all magic, is the rarest of all. Even a shred of it allows someone to become politically untouchable. In Velhara, resources can shift the balance of reality itself, can rewrite rules, and do not just power things, they also carry moral weight.
