Terrestrial Salazarium: Difference between revisions

 

• Terrestrial Salazarium has different gravitational-oriented effects from Basic Salazarium. When outside a strong field of gravity (such as a planetary mass), it naturally generates gravitons to create a small gravity field of its own; when situated within a field of gravity, samples of Terrestrial Salazarium are naturally drawn to the source of that field. Because of this effect, samples of the material and items made from it feel heavier than objects of the exact same weight. One effect of this is that weapons made of Terrestrial Salazarium (and projectiles of the material for weapons such as firearms and arrows) are capable of doing much greater kinetic damage than other weapons or ammunition of the same variety, but have a slightly reduced range.

 

• Unlike Basic and Nova Salazarium, the radiated energies of Terrestrial Salazarium make the metal slightly warm to the touch. The radiated energies can be easily blocked by lead. It was also discovered that deerskin leather also possesses the ability to block the energies and energy-related effects of the material (but not the gravity-effects); in the United Kingdom and throughout North America, those individuals who were aware of the nature of Terrestrial Salazarium used deerskin containers and satchels, etc. to transport such materials. This became especially prevalent among those with mystical ability, who used deerskin pouches to protect themselves and still have the material ready for use. (A prominent example of this is the fact that almost all of the known examples of the weapons known as the [[Divine Needles]] were crafted alongside their sheathes, all of which were made with deerskin leather sheathes that were enchanted so as to not decay. The nature of the Salazarium makes the sheathes effective, as it renders the interior soft and of normal consistency but keeps the edges from piercing the sheath.)
