Bahosidir

Bahosidir is a fictional mineral and energy medium used in speculative fiction and tabletop role-playing games. It is not a real-world substance and has no basis in empirical science.

In most portrayals, bahosidir appears as a crystalline substance with iridescent facets and variable transparency. It is described as having high energy density, the ability to store and transfer energy, and sometimes the capacity to catalyze reactions or mediate interfaces between technology and magic. Individual depictions differ, with some creators presenting near-superconductive behavior under specific conditions or temperatures.

In-universe origin stories place bahosidir in deep geological strata near geothermal systems. Extraction is hazardous due to seismic activity and brittle crystals. Mining often requires specialized equipment, strict safety protocols, and guarded access to high-purity veins.

Uses range from powering devices and starship drives to enabling spellwork or techno-magical interfaces. Bahosidir can function as a plot device or macro-resource around which economies, factions, or political conflicts form. Refined derivatives or processed forms may have altered properties.

Etymology is not fixed; bahosidir is a constructed term whose meaning and symbolism vary across works. The name is typically treated as a neutral label rather than a canonical definition.
