Tau

A place to put my discoveries about the flights, more or less in strict accordance to the Lore Buddies theories.

Charged Tungsten

Minerals & Ores

A popular material in bulbs and superalloys. Lightning dragons harvest the stuff like it's going out of style.

375

In the early 20th Century the strategic value of tungsten was discovered. Tungsten's desirable properties such as resistance to high temperatures, its hardness and density, and its strengthening of alloys made it an important raw material for the arms industry. Some countries were cut off so they'd be weaker in ww2. There's a good reason lightning dergs hoard it...

Magnetite

Minerals & Ores

The engineers of Tempest Spire loathe this mineral.

48

Electricity + metal = magnetism. I need some art of this

Prehnite

Minerals & Ores

This foggy green crystal is often used in trading and bartering among harpy beastclans. It has even been adopted as a currency by some dragon clans in the Shifting Expanse!

45

Don't get this one-prehnire is very heat sensitive and is only used as gemstone?

Pink Chalcedony

Minerals & Ores

The Crystalspine Reaches, once granite mountains, are now entirely made of chalcedony after extreme arcane vortices warped their physical properties. Prolonged exposure to this radioactive silica can make non-arcane dragons very ill.

45

Normal Chalcedony is harmless. Variations including Carneol and Onyx. Arcane magic can change atoms, but the atoms will be unstable. Also SiO2 is a main part of both Granite and Chalcedony, so it wouldn't be impossible.

Satin Mouse

Meat

Living in arcane-infused fields does strange things to Satin Mice. All that matters is they're magically delicious.

20

2

Just proven that arcane magic makes things radioactive. You eat that stuff???

Aether Hermit

Seafood

Some say this crab can shoot beams of arcane energy at foes, but this one only pinches. Maybe it's out of mana?

30

3

Some say?? don't question it, just eat it??

Fallout Whisper

Insect

These moths fly erratically around the sites of Arcanist's experiments. They make your tongue glow when eaten.

41

4

a) Fallout?! b) Sites?! c) That Pattern!? d) Don't. Eat. It! e) ARCANIST!

Forest Field Guide

Trinkets

This tome provides detailed information on the flora and fauna of the region - it seems that many creatures have changed their habits since the forest began to regularly catch fire.

24

What do you mean, it began to catch fire??

Lurker Motherboard

Dragonmade

This board changes over time, forming new connections as a lurker develops its own personal hunting style. Attempts to repurpose old boards frequently fail.

50

The term motherboard is tied to computers - oldest date is the 70s

Chrome Laser Head

Dragonmade

Attach to the head of a frickin' Granite Thresher (or ill-tempered mutated Pale Smallmouth) and you might just take over the world.

52

Lasers - Einstein laid their foundation as early as 1917, but the first "true" functioning laser was patented in 1960.

Emerald Webwing

Familiar

Warped by arcane energies, this twisted bird bears little resemblance to its parents. All its eyes are looking in different directions.

1525

Amethyst King

Familiar

Warped by unstable energies, these arcane-infused ursidae lose all sense of reason when angered. (Colored by LadyKianna.)

1250

So arcane magic can infuse things - makes sense since it's radiation.

Ruby Webwing

Familiar

This hummingbird never stops growing. Pray that it is not altered any further.

1550

Jury's out on whether or not 'altered' is passive or active.

Aberrant Chacma

Familiar

The warped energies of the portal have gifted this chacma with the ability to inflict its headache upon others.

2940

The portal is warped- Arcane energy can warp things- The portal has a big Arcane rune in the middle- not quite sure where I'm going-

Hippalectryon

Familiar

Mistakes were made.

2650

I agree

Engineered Superberry

Plant

When science and magic collide, the sky is the limit and anything is possible - this strawberry is blue! Blue I say!

70

8

Plant golems I guess? Can be found in Lightning, but not Arcane. Things are afoot…

Infused Crystal

Minerals & Ores

This crystal pulses with an unnatural energy and strange shapes move within. One should not stare overlong into it, lest they begin to stare back at you. (Special thanks Artorias.)

80

Can be found in Arcane.

Otherworldly Aura

Familiar

A jumble of bones and magic. When you can't find a familiar, make one!

2750

So arcane has found a way to make things come alive with magic…

Undying Featherback

Familiar

Magic is required to slay an undying featherback and put it to rest.

4700

'Put to rest' - it's a zombie, isn't it?
