Sanlys

An artificially made biological crystal formed through the combined efforts of Alchemists and Druids the Sanlys crystal is capable of producing large quantities of light. The light produced by the Sanlys crystal mostly hits the on the red side of the visible spectrum.
Sanlys crystals require large amounts of nutrients to produce light the simplest method to get a Sanlys crystal to get light is to bleed upon it. While the amount of nutrients in a person's blood aren't enough to fuel larger huge amounts of light it allows for the production of low steady light. To produce huge amounts of light the Sanlys must spend time submerged in large amounts of nutrient mixes, the most common used would-be natural fertilizers.

Properties

Material Characteristics

Sanlys is a crimson crystal.

Physical & Chemical Properties

Sanlys crystals are piezoelectric and show decent mechanical strength under pressure.

Origin & Source

Through the combined efforts of Alchemists and Druid the first sliver of Sanlys was formed.

Life & Expiration

As long as a Sanlys crystal is maintained and fed they should last around 8 years under light use but only 3 under heavy stress.

History & Usage

History

It was only within the last 35 years that Sanlys was created the potential is not yet fully realized but some inventive minds have already found uses.

Discovery

The Cobalt Tower funded and ran the research that led to the creation of Sanlys.

Everyday use

For the common man or women, the Sanlys crystal remains a luxury. Within larger cities Sanlys has led to easily lit streets and reduced the number of accidental fires.

Industrial Use

The light producing nature of Sanlys is being looked into by many from Druids to Astronomers.

Reusability & Recycling

When a Sanlys crystal inevitably breaks down with time they can be easily be recycled by compost.

Distribution

Storage

Sanlys crystals must be stored in a cold dry lightless environment with no contact between crystals. If these conditions are unmet a crystal can begin to degrade quickly.
