The Discipline of Man

Elemental Discoveries
Ever since discovery of steam technology, humans have shown an evergrowing desire to locate and use new elements, chemicals, and other minerals that could be used to further enhance the steam tech that now benefits their people. Some of these discovered minerals have several uses ranging apart from helpful to the populace, and military opportunities.

- Delerite
Delerite is a very unstable resource. In its solid state, it is mined and refined much like people would use stone. However, the mineral has properties within it that naturally inhibit the energies that Elves and Bestials use to cast and control magic. An Elf or Bestial that is contained within a chamber made of this mineral and no access to the outside would cut the said person off from the energy, preventing him/her from casting any magic. When heated (214 degrees farenheit) however, Delerite can be converted into a liquid. The Delerite must be completely contained in some sort of container during the conversion process however because in its liquid state, if exposed to oxygen, Delerite quickly turns into a gas and no longer sustains the properties it uses to inhibit the energies that prevent the usage of magic. In order to convert Delerite back into a solid, the container must be chilled (-6 degrees farenheit).

[Other Minerals will be added as I have time to add them or they are discovered in the world]
