Tyserium Crystals

Tyserium crystals (Ty-se-ri-um Kri-stl) are very high-energy crystals but their energy isn't from any magical energy it is just normal positional energy, even though with high energy inside of this crystal it is impossible to release this energy without using highly special made tools or magic as Tyserium crystal energy is only released when a high amount temperature hits the crystal, it is around 10 fireball at the same time to release the energy inside while this is quite impossible to do for a normal person to do, with use of other materials like Resberin Crystal or other materials that can release high amount of heat just for a moment to activate the Tyserium crystal.

Price :

Tyserium Crystal is sold for 10 GP (Gold Piece) for 1 lb, but this material is rare in the South-land region as the crystal is only found in the west part of Mid-land and a little bit of the west part of Northern-land with some in the east side of Mid-land but very-very rare but with the infrastructure of Northern-land and Mid-land, making transporting Tyserium Crystal between nations in Northern-land and Mid-land easier than Southern-land.

Looks :

Tyserium Crystal is fully orange with some transparency and also a slight orange glow when any bright light hits the crystal this light also shows the light when the crystal is heated up and lasts for a couple of seconds after, and has a hardy texture just like a quartz crystal.

Natural Formation : 

Tyserium Crystal naturally form in beach areas as no Tyserium Crystal is ever founded 3000 ft from a beach, and most of the Tyserium Crystal that form naturally are spiky style crystal formations but there are some small stones but those are rare and all of them are very small compared to the spiky formation, the amount of crystal that might form in the certain area might be around 100 lb to 300 lb of Tyserium Crystal in a chunk formation but there is some certain hot-spot where Tyserium Crystal chunk and formation are found even more especially in the Orange Corral region where there is around 800 lb to 1500 lb in a chunk formation

Explosive Properties :

Tyserium Crystal can explode but this only happens when the crystal is heated up, this never happens in the wild as Tyserium Crystal needs a lot of heat to even explode, it takes around 10 fireballs at the same time for a 100 lb of Tyserium crystal to explode, as the heat easily spread inside of the crystal and forcing someone who is trying to make explosive from this material to heat the entire crystal as the heat will spread instantly.

Tyserium crystal has one of the best explosion ssisizes compared to weight, as 5 lb of Tyserium crystal when it's exploded will make a 10ft x 10ft radius explosion that deals 2d10 fire damage and for each 5 lb of Tyserium crystal added, the radius of the explosion will grow for 5ft x 5ft each time and also 1d10 fire damage but the bigger the size of the Tyserium crystal the more heat that is needed to make an explosion.

History :

Early age

Tyserium crystals are very rare making them very valuable for people at an early age also with the beauty of the orange slightly glowing crystal, Tyserium crystals are rarely used for their energy back in the day as the technology and the understanding of why Tyserium crystals able to release energy but they do understand heat is the main effect as there is a lot written about it and also there are some notes in history where Tyserium crystal are used for weapons with a bunch of wizards casting a fire spell onto the crystal to test out if they can explode the giant crystal.

Imperial Age

The start of the Imperial Age is also the start of the usage of Tyserium Crystal in any sort of warfare or even normal day-to-day usage as people find out that Tyserium Crystal can be mine if the crystal is heated up a little, with something like a torch then get pick by a pickaxes head that is made out of Black Titanium, with a much smaller size of crystal people start heating it with the smaller amount of fire that is usually needed for a bigger size crystal and exploding it, rarely as a propellant of ammunition for cannon as Black Titanium is still rare with people back in the day only able to gain them from the Guardian in the Misted City, and with a low amount of Black Titanium that means a lower amount of supply of Tyserium Crystal

Pre-The Great Vallarian War 

Before the Great Vallarian War happen, some nations start looking into the usage of Tyserium crystal especially Alvavia as they own a lot of Tyserium crystal supply from their use to be land in now a day Delstainvia, there some prototypes of the new invention of arcane gun but most of them are too expensive and take a lot of time to make for a regular army to use, but Tyserium crystal with Resberin Crystal is found to be the best propellant but the cost and time to gather Tyserium crystal and Resberin Crystal will be more than using the normal musket with gunpowder as their propellant even if Tyserium crystal propellant rifle is able to deal even more damage toward it's target from using the combination of the high velocity and Resberin Crystal that become pure fire energy as the fire is combine with the Tyserium crystal energy as well that is being use by the bullet to deal fire damage toward it's target but also the problem with Tyserium crystal rifle is the efficiency of Tyserium crystal being use every shot isn't the best compare future innovation that only took 1/2 lb of Tyserium crystal per shot compare to the Pre War Tyserium crystal rifle that take around 1-2 lb of Tyserium crystal per shot. 

The Great Vallarian War

The Great Vallarian War was the first mass use of Tyserium crystal for military usage but not for rifles or weapons, it is mostly used for explosive devices just like TNT but thanks to Tyserium crystal explosion size compared to weight is lighter than normal gunpowder, and also with the innovation of using runes on weapons, the Tyserium crystal becomes the main fuel source for the TRR-Bomb in the Great Vallarian War.

Post- The Great Vallarian War

After the Great Vallarian War was over the innovation of Tyserium crystal weapons and tools halted for a couple of years as the biggest stockpile of Tyserium crystal which is a region that is now in the new country called Delstainvia but because they have just gotten independent making the mining operations that back then was run by the Alavavian government mining company that got kicked out but after a couple of years Delstanvia started mining operations again and start selling them to other nations like Alvavia, Mondral who were nations who are interested of using Tyserium crystal as fuel for Arcane Rifle and after a couple of years black titanium become not as rare as it uses to be as people started using others material as their weapon or started using normal material and then enchanting those with the now easier way to enchanted stuff for adventurers.

After a couple of years of development, Alvavia was able to make and mass produce the new Arcane rifle that mainly uses Tyserium crystal and Resberin crystal as their propelled of the bullet because two of those materials don't produce any magical energy that might interfere with the Arcane reactor in the gun that gives the bullet magical energy, but not like the pre-war prototype, the amount of Tyserium crystal and Resberin crystal use is much lower, it takes around 1/2 lb of Tyserium crystal per shot to compare to 2 lb of Tyserium crystal that the pre-war prototype use per shot.
