Natural Oddities

» Item Name: The Frozen Bolt
» Item Type: Everyone

» Used For: Supplimentary

» Item Description: The Frozen Bolt is a low-level Natural Oddity found in the depths of the Amazon Rainforest. This Natural Oddity takes the shape of a bolt of lightning, complete with the intense crackling energy that can be seen within, but is made exclusively out of ice that seems to resist all attempts at melting it. While low-level, it is still very valuble to Tai Chi Cultivators, as the power that has built up inside is a great deal of natural Qi that can be used for a great boost to silver ranked cultivation, and a decent boost to Gold rank cultivation. Bronze Rank cultivators can not use this because it will produce too much energy, and cause their Dantian to rupture. Black Gold cultivators can use this, but they will barely see anything worth the money spent.

For Silver Dantians, they can grow two ranks with this item. Gold Dantians of the first Rank can grow one rank with this item. The only problem is, once it has been used, it is merely an interesting ornement, and doesn't even have the crackling lightning effect inside it. As such, it is only really used by rich Cultivators.

» Item Name: Man of Magma
» Item Type: Everyone

» Used For: Supplementary.

» Item Description: Found in the heart of Volcanos, Man of Magma is just as it sounds. A solidified lump of magma in the perfect shape of a man, even detailing his hair, eyes, teeth and muscles. Some have been known to have leg hair, or dimples. While their uncanny appearance is unnerving to some, they are still highly sort after for the incredible stores of Natural Energy that can be found within them.

They are Silver-Excluding, as a Cultivator with such a rank would burn to death as if submerged in Magma were he to try and use it, melting a most gruesome death. To touch, it is very warm. A warmth that is confusing, as the person is pretty sure anything that warm should burn his fingers to the bone in seconds, but it doesn't.

For a Gold Realm Cultivator in their first Rank, it grants two levels. A Second rank will gain one level. Beyond that, they will see diminishing fractions of their rank gained. Black Gold Cultivators will see more of a boost than with the Frozen Lightning Bolt, but still not anything major.

» Item Name: The Screaming Shell.
» Item Type: Everyone

» Used For: Supplementary.

» Item Description: Found in places of extreme darkness, where the Sun never shines, the Screaming Shell looks like an ordinary conch shell. However, unlike most shells which, when placed to your ear grant the sounds of the sea, this shell grants the blood-curdling shrieks of a thousand banshees. As such these shells are kept in locked, metal boxes until sold.

These are Gold-Excluding, for the first Rank. A Cultivator who tries to use them before the second rank of Gold will have their mind shattered into a thousand pieces, and forced into a short stint of hysteria as their organs shut down one by one. Choking, retching, and clawing at their skin in a disturbing display before their heart finally stops, and they pass from the mortal coil.

For a Gold Realm Cultivator in their Second Rank, it grants three levels. A Third rank will gain two levels. A fourth rank will gain one level. A fifth rank gains a little more than half the progress to breaking through, roughly 60%. A Black Gold Cultivator in the First Rank will see one level increase. Further levels will see decent gains, albeit not truly a full level.

» Item Name: Broken Wing Crane.
» Item Type: Everyone

» Used For: Supplementary.

» Item Description: Found at the apex of the Eight-Thounsanders - a collection of fourteen mountains that are at least eight thousand meters tall - on the top of a dead tree. The Crane is only found once a year, and nobody knows which mountain it will appear on until it appears on the 86th moon of the year. The tree itself has a thousand branches, stretching out for miles, but has no life upon it at all. Upon one of these branches sits a crane, with a broken wing. It is made out of wood, but so perfectly crafted it seems to be a crane that was turned into wood, rather than a statue created. Where ever a person stands, if they can see the Crane, the Crane seems to stare back. And to look at the Crane brings about a bone-deep feeling of terror and trepidation. No being is immune to the feeling, no being can shrug off the ominous stare of the Crane, and all beings feel as if the stare of the Crane is the harbinger of the End Times. There is no telling if this is true or not, but such a universal reaction must have some truth to it. They are very rare due to the fact that the Crane manifests a protector if it is pulled from the tree, and this protector has the power to make the mountain upon which it is perched tremble. Fleeing does no good. The protector will always find you. Always

The Broken Wing Crane is Gold-Excluding. If a Cultivator tries to draw from the Crane before they have hit Black Gold, they slowly turn an intensely pale colour, and drop dead. Their soul never enters the Soul Cycle, nor is it delivered to Hell. And the Crane seems to smile. For a cultivator in the first level of Black Gold, they gain three levels, in the second level of Black Gold, they gain one. The power of the Broken Wing Crane is such that even a Cultivator in the first rank Yu-Shan Realm will feel a little less than half of their Dantian filled.

The Crane is kept within an obsidian box, inside a box crafted from Ebony, with both boxes carved intricately with warding runes, and then tightly wrapped in Linen that has soaked in Holy Water for two weeks and absorbed the light of the Moon through those weeks. After that, it is stored underground in a special confinement chamber above the stall until it is sold.
