A mutator onyx is a jet-black, alien mineral first found within the walls of the Onyx Citadel but is now used primarily as an alchemical teaching or experimentation tool within Oprak. Pressing the gem into a solid, unattended inanimate object with Hardness 5 or less transforms that object's surface into a curious syrupy, liquid-like state, reducing its Hardness to 0. One mutator onyx can transform up to a 5-foot cube. After 10 minutes, the matter reverts to its solid state, regaining its Hardness.


Trait Effects

Alchemical: Alchemical items are powered by reactions of alchemical reagents. Unless otherwise noted, alchemical items aren’t magical and don’t radiate a magical aura. Alchemical creatures are partially powered by alchemical reactions.

Consumable: An item with this trait can be used only once. Unless stated otherwise, it’s destroyed after activation. Consumable items include alchemical items and magical consumables such as scrolls and talismans. A character can Craft consumable items in batches of four.

Earth: Effects with the earth trait either manipulate or conjure earth. Those that manipulate earth have no effect in an area without earth. Creatures with this trait consist primarily of earth or have a connection to magical earth. These planes are mostly solid. Travelers arriving upon an earth plane risk suffocation if they don’t reach a cavern or some other air pocket within the plane’s solid matter. Creatures who can’t burrow are entombed in the plane’s substance and must attempt to dig their way toward an air pocket. Air creatures are ill at ease, as they rarely have the space to move freely through even the loftiest warrens.
