tornadodiagrammit

Tornadodiagrammit is a fictional material that appears in the "Stormlight Archive" series by Brandon Sanderson. It is a type of gemstone that is crucial to the magic system of Roshar, the primary setting of the series. Tornadodiagrammit is described as being incredibly dense and having a peculiar property of storing and releasing Investiture, the fundamental energy of the Cosmere. This makes it highly valuable for various applications, most notably as a power source for Soulcasting devices and for powering Shardblades and Shardplate, the iconic weapons and armor of the Knights Radiant.

The appearance of tornadodiagrammit is typically depicted as a dark, almost black, crystalline substance with a faint inner glow. Its exact formation process is not fully detailed, but it is understood to be a rare and potent gem, often found in areas subjected to intense magical phenomena. The ability of tornadodiagrammit to hold and manipulate Investiture is central to the technological and magical advancements of Rosharan society. Without it, many of the advanced magical abilities and devices seen throughout the series would be impossible. Its scarcity and importance lead to significant economic and political implications within the narrative.
