Crimson Granite (material)

{TB |blacksmith=yes |woodworker=yes |set=variable |field1=Empower |field2=WeaponBase |intent=Utility |form=Magical Item}} Crimson Granite is a material that can be used by blacksmiths. On its own, Crimson Granite appears as a small crimson granite crystal teeming with magical energies, with the durability of steel. When crafted into a fine weapon, shield or gauntlet, however, the crafted weapon gains a new magical property and a deep crimson coloring. The ability to cast a single, predefined Spell is imbued into this weapon, allowing whoever wields this weapon to cast the spell out of the weapon, following all of the rules and limitations the spell normally brings otherwise.

When crafting this weapon, the blacksmith may also imbue levels of Magic Power into the weapon, with cost depending on the crafter's Wisdom. This imbued power only applies to the spell applied to the weapon, since the Magic Power is in the weapon, not the wielder. Consequently, this form of Magic Power ignores the standard rule of Magic Power becoming ineffective while the wielder is in heavy armor.

If the blacksmith doesn't know the spell to be imbued, the cost of Crimson Granite equals the cost of that spell. If the Blacksmith does know the proper spell, then the cost becomes 2 cost levels lower than the cost of that spell. (For example, a Higher cost Wisdom-based spell can be acquired as a Lower cost Wisdom-based Crimson Granite.) Cost level cannot be reduced below "Lowest." Magic Power levels always cost the normal amount, even if the blacksmith already has Magic Power.

Variant

Over time, woodworkers have learned to emulate the property of Crimson Granite, in what has now been dubbed Crimson Ash. Crimson Ash has physical properties more similar to wood than stone, but otherwise has the same cost and effects as Crimson Granite. As such, any practiced woodworker can choose to gain Crimson Ash in place of Crimson Granite.
