_Solidity Chart_
___
_Ice_
- It is only naturally bestowed to the Undralig.
- The item desired must be called for by name, spoken to the ice itself.
- The ice takes shape upon hearing the object's name called. The surrounding ice cracks, revealing the object.
- Upon separation from the original ice source, the solid becomes a type of permafrost. It is then slightly stronger than normal ice and is unable to melt by normal means.
________
_Sediment_
- It is a skill which must be learned to use.
- A symbol representing the desired object must be written onto the rock-mineral's surface either invisibly with a finger or visibly with any kind of ink, mud, dye, blood, etc.
- The rock/mineral forms the object when the symbol is written upon its surface. The rock then allows the individual to extract the object from the rock by pushing his hand through the written symbol and into the rock. It retains most of its shape depending on the size of the object compared to the size of the rock/mineral.
- An individual that writes a symbol upon a rock/mineral's surface does not necessarily have to be the person retrieving the object from the rock/mineral. Any other individual with the ability may retrieve the object.
_____
_Bone_
- It is a skill which must be learned to use.
- It causes pain to the user and must be Nighttime (passed sunset, before sunrise) to alter.
- Not required to physically touch the solid if it's not in a living creature. The solid can be made to have its size halved or doubled. If you alter a bone, it cannot be altered again in the same night. In order to alter the bone of a living being, physical contact with that creature's exterior is required; only skilled users can alter living beings' bones.
- The skill of altering Bone is frowned upon by most societies and is often outlawed in many of the larger cities.
_____
_Plant_
- It is a skill which must be learned to use.
- Prior meditation is necessary. A steady hand is a must.
- Upon meditation, the plant gathers all the desired ingredient together inside itself. The individual then steadily places their hand upon the plant's surface and passes their hand through the plant, pushing only the desired ingredient through. Usually the individual has a vial ready on the other end of the plant so that the ingredient can fall into it.
- The plant and its ingredients will never harm the individual as it's being extracted. This method can be used for obtaining ingredients used in concocting potions or poisons. The ingredient desired must be present in the available plant.
_____
_Coral_
- It is only naturally bestowed to the Vakkre.
- This solid is biologically part of the host. From birth, the solid is already attached to that user's exterior and becomes part of that user's life force as they grow together. The host doesn't need to say or do anything to make the coral bend to their whim; they merely think and the coral reacts as any other part of their body would.
- If the host were to die, the solid would start to lose its color, greying as it decomposes, becoming brittle within minutes. Another coral host cannot pick it up and use it for their own. Water strengthens coral, making it likened to metal in toughness. When a Coral host is submerged, he is most formidable.
______
_Cinder_
- It is a skill which must be learned to use.
- The user motions with their hands forming symbols representing the desired variant of golem.
- A Golem will form out of the solid upon completion of the hand motions. The golem's size (small or large), lifespan (the duration before it returns to its solid form), mobility (quality of joint movement and speed), loyalty (willingness to follow the conjurer's commands) and the amount of golems able to be produced, all depend on the hand motions used, the material available, and the skill of the user.
- Cinder refers to Igneous rock, Burnt wood, and Coal. It is strengthened by fire, causing the golem to last longer and cause more damage.
_____
_Sand_
- It is only naturally bestowed to the Shae (Female Shae).
- The user kneels and places both hands on the solid, praying to the sand for guidance/assistance
- The sand responds to the users emotions and thoughts on the current situation and creates what it feels to be the solution or necessity for that situation in the form of a glass object or structure
- This method can be used on sand to produce glass objects. If used on glass, the glass disintegrates; reverting back into sand. That sand can then be used regularly. Glass cannot be used to create other glass directly.
_____
_Wood_
- It is a skill which must be learned to use.
- The wood must be musically persuaded, either through vocal or instrumental means
- The solid changes shape, bending to form the desired object as it is serenaded. The type of object that is created depends on the type of music that is played/sung. The quality of the object depends on the skill of the user and how well they play/sing. Objects smaller than the tree will be made from single branches and released by the object's own weight; like that of a leaf falling from a branch.
- The strength of the solid is dependent on the available material, not on the skill of the user.
- You can only use living wood from trees. You cannot use wood that has already been separated from a living tree.
_____
_Metal_
- It is a skill which must be learned to use.
- The user must have prior knowledge of the Sediment skill. The desired metal must be present in the available rock/mineral. A symbol representing the desired object must be written onto the rock/mineral's surface either invisibly with an extremity (finger) or visibly with any kind of ink, mud, dye, blood, etc
- The metal shares its being with the rock/mineral surrounding it, receiving signals from it to form the desired object. Unlike when extracting from rock/mineral, the metal object will pass through the rock/mineral to the surface of the written symbol. It can be then pulled out of the rock face with relative ease, depending on the size of the object. If the object is to large to be pulled out, the rock/mineral will expel the object from its surface for the user.
- The symbols for metal are slightly different than that of rock/mineral; somewhat like a "cursive" form. If the user extracts from an existing metal, a symbol representing the desired object must be written onto the metal's surface in the same manner.
