Catalyst
The Catalyst is a versatile and powerful device that serves as a conduit for channeling the diverse range of magical energies wielded by mages. Crafted from a rare and mysterious material known as Enthredicite, the Catalyst is intrinsically linked to the quantum nanoscale substance, Enthredic. This connection allows the Catalyst to tap into the innate magical potential within its wielder, amplifying and refining their control over their chosen elemental powers, and is frequently combined with with an Ashobic to augment its powers even further.
The Catalyst's sleek and elegant design features a central core of Enthredicite, which is often encased in a metal or crystalline framework and later adorned with intricate patterns and symbols, each representing the mage's affinity to a particular element or magical tradition. Catalysts can be additionally be fashioned into a variety of shapes, such as staves, swords, etc. The Enthredicite core glows with a unique hue that corresponds to the mage's magical energy, making each Catalyst as distinct as the individual who wields it.
In the hands of a skilled mage, the Catalyst can channel the raw power of the four elemental traditions: Quantaphysics, Mentaphonics, Anachronology, and Corporeality. By focusing their intent and manipulating the Enthredicite core, the mage can summon devastating torrents of fire, unleash bolts of lightning, command the flow of time, or reshape their physical form.
The creation and attunement of a Catalyst is a complex and meticulous process, requiring both an intimate understanding of Enthredicite and access to specialized tools and materials. Skilled Cogcrafters, with their mastery of engineering and knowledge of the material's original creators, The Vocru, are uniquely positioned to forge and shape these devices, ensuring the Catalyst's resonance with its intended wielder.
The Catalyst's versatility and iconic design have made it an indispensable tool for mages seeking to hone their abilities and assert their status as the "New Masters". As they wield the Catalyst in their quests for knowledge and power, these emerging leaders reshape the world around them, ushering in a new era of magical prowess.
