Kristallil

Kristallil is a fictional mineral featured in the world-building of the role-playing game Pathfinder. It is described as a luminous, crystalline substance that grows in veins within certain geological formations. Its primary characteristic is its ability to absorb and store ambient magical energy.

When properly harvested and refined, Kristallil can be used as a component in the creation of magical items and as a source of power for arcane devices. Alchemists and enchanters value Kristallil for its unique properties, which can enhance the potency of spells or imbue objects with magical resilience. The color of Kristallil can vary depending on the concentration of stored energy, ranging from a pale blue to a deep violet.

Geological surveys indicate that Kristallil deposits are often found in areas with a high concentration of leylines or in the vicinity of ancient magical sites. Mining Kristallil can be a hazardous endeavor, as the mineral's energy storage capabilities can sometimes lead to unpredictable magical discharges. Consequently, specialized tools and protective measures are often employed by those who venture into Kristallil-rich caverns. Lore surrounding Kristallil suggests it may have been formed through an unknown magical cataclysm in the distant past.
