Great Tree Wood

Like much of the Great Tree , its wood is of exceptional quality. The bark and inner wood are a soft silver color, and to the touch, they feel as smooth as glass, with an almost invisible grain, but its exceptional toughness makes it challenging to work with.

"You can secure your vault one of two ways: you can spend weeks installing this iron and lead lining to keep the magic teleporters out and the bomb experts, or you can put an inch of great tree wood in place and that will stop everything short of a spell from the 7th circle, but it will cost you double." Tree Wright explains the virtues of Great Tree Wood.

Appearance

Great Tree wood has a slight silvery hue and an extremely dense grain. It's unmistakable, and while there have been attempts at forgeries, experts can quickly discern a fake, often by feel alone. The wood can be painted, stained, or dyed to match a specific setting.

History

Early

Originally, no one dared to remove a piece of the Great Tree. However, the @Darknoll Family developed magically enhanced tools to work with the difficult wood.

Modern

With careful oversight from @Tree-Wrights and @The Seekers, modern expeditions source lumber from the @Great Sky Highway.

Creation

Great Tree wood seems to have an endless supply, always regenerating from areas that the Tree-Wrights haven't yet tapped or that have healed.

Components

It has three main components: @Great Tree Bark, @Heart Wood, and the ordinary planks.

Capabilities

Great Tree wood offers various capabilities:

1. Exceptional density, stopping swords, bullets, and even cannons when thick enough.
2. Magical resistance, capable of stopping most spells and preventing teleportation when of sufficient thickness.
3. Affecting and warping magic nearby in ways similar to the Great Tree itself, especially in large densities.
4. Sections like Heart Wood can enhance magical properties and create new ones.
5. Easily enchantable, used for crafting magical tools and weapons.
