Originally released with Taisidon Mystery 457.

Warrior Mages tell of the "First Eruption", a moment during the formation of the Plane of Abiding when Ushnish stuck the highest peak, creating the first breach to the Elemental Plane of Fire and evoking a massive eruption that spewed molten lava and ash for decades before finally being quelled by Meraud infusing a blast of cooling Aether into the fiery maelstrom.

Rumored to be a remnant of that original design, volcanode is said to result from the divine infusion of aether into an active volcanic eruption that essentially flash-freezes magma to calm the ire of the earth. The pressurized elemental fossil that remains can be harvested and is highly prized by Warrior Mages and worshipers of Ushnish for its connection to divine and primordial order.

Pure volcanode has a rugged, soot-grey exterior that yields to a translucent, dark obsidian core. Deep within the glass-like depths, swirls of orange-gold mica perform a slow, perpetual roil of convection, mimicking the churn of molten magma. Fine, ruby-red fissures spiderweb across the surface, flickering with a rhythmic internal light that suggests a cooling heart of fire trapped within a shell of eternal earth.

Common Description

Swirling orange-gold flecks roil slowly within this dark, glassy stone as magma-red fissures pulse across the exterior, threatening that its plated segments could violently erupt at any moment.

Alteration Rules
