Description: Of all the Fabrication substances invented, Iridius crystal is perhaps the most versatile. It takes well to many shapes and purposes, including the collection and storage of starlight energy. The Stellar Collector apparatus is a highly useful application of this crystal, but it requires some sort of psychic transducer to sieve essence from light.

The crystal's namesake, Iridius the Guide, was a priest-turned-demonologist of some infamy during the glory days of Throne City. What makes him interesting to Traders is his ahead-of-his-time research into a fanciful yellow-green crystal to which he attributed numerous uses. There are no records of him successfully creating such a thing -- he wasn't even a Lunar magician. Still, his descriptions bore striking resemblance to what is possible today. Any further information on Iridius himself that might have survived is kept under lock and key by the overlords of Throne City's carcass.

Effect: Allows collection and storage of starlight energy
Example Messaging: You gesture.

Striated green and yellow lights pool in your palm, immiscible like oil and water, and you concentrate on drawing them together.

Crystals begin to form within the lights you are holding, but then disperse into gaseous sparkle.

With a hammer blow of your will, the lights you are holding meld, reorder, and crystallize into a roughly shaped hoop, thickening with inward branches until only a tiny gap is left in the center.

Your Stellar Collector spell dissipates.

You sense that your Stellar Collector has reached full capacity.

Devices/Tattoos: No devices or tattoos documented.
