Nitrion (3.5e Equipment)

Nitrion
Nitrion is a blue ethereal-looking substance, it form naturally spiral into an helix shape if left unattended. It is extremely radioactive, so much even creatures normally immune to radiation fear it. Each pound of Nitrion count as a single refined darklight rod except it completely ignore immunities to it effects.

Nitrion is particularly deadly to the young gods of Idylis. Killing them within second after exposure (details included within the template). The reason why it so deadly to them is unknown, but luckily for them the material is impossible to make artificially. Nitrion is found naturally in the elemental planes, often guarded by Nitrion-tainted elemental (usually represented by lesser paragon elementals of the appropriated type) and is found in tiny quantity from one quarter of a pound to two pounds.

With 5 pound of Nitrion it is possible to make a powerful devastating bomb, replicating the effect of megaton and leaving the area poisoned by it presence, young gods of Idylis exposed to either the blast or the fallout will suffer from Nitrion poisoning, making such bomb an ideal tool to slay them. Nitrion is also a superb source of energy, each pound of Nitrion count as two pounds of crystalline proteum for the purpose of maintaining magical effect and generating energy, it is however extremely deadly and priceless as such it is rarely used for it pacifist uses. One pound of Nitrion can be shaped into a small weapon, such as a dagger, a bolt or a bullet. Although in order to do so a limited wish or stronger effect must be used to force the Nitrion into shape. Weapons made out of nitrion have the same properties as unworked nitrion (notably lethally radioactive) and gain benefits as if they were made of darklight.
