Magnetus
|
Magnetus is a metallic material with magnetic properties, allowing it a wide variety of uses.
Details
Raw Magnetus is grey in color, semi-metallic, and very dense. It is easily distinguishable by its natural magnetic properties. Magnetus is somewhat scarce, typically found deep in the earth near mountain ranges.
An active redstone signal de-magnetizes Magnetus, opening up more uses in the engineering field.
Contact with active mana increases the magnetic strength of Magnetus, making it a nifty tool for arcane engineers as well. Transfigurers and Earth Evokers are able to interact with this directly through their respective methods.
Materials such as Ferrum, Bluesteel, Carbarum, and Kodeh steel will be attracted to the Magnetus with varying strength. Small pieces having a weak attraction with larger blocks and such having a moderate attraction (The pull is notable, but able to be resisted with some effort). Magically enhanced Magnetus harbors the strongest attraction, forcefully pulling the Metals towards it, or in smaller pieces, itself towards the metal.
Uses
Once refined, Magnetus can be used by tinkers and smiths for a variety of things, as it retains its magnetic property. Refined Magnetus is quite durable, but relatively heavy; So much so that so that full suits of armor cannot be feasibly used. The use of Magnetus is particularly common among engineers, tinkers, and certain mages.
Red Lines
-Descendants cannot reasonably don full suits of Magnetus armor, It is too heavy.
-Refined Magnetus operates in a three block radius in larger features such as pillars or blocks.
-Magically enhanced Magnetus operates in a five block radius, maximum.
-Regardless of strength, active redstone always de-magnetizes Magnetus.
-Earth Evokers are only able to manipulate raw Magnetus.
-In cases where magic is involved, the caster is susceptible to the mineral's magnetism as well.
