SPECIAL FEATURES
- Hemathium interacts directly with organic materials, enhancing or corrupting biological processes.
- A distinctive blood-red metal with a liquid-like sheen, giving the impression of congealed blood when solidified.
- Highly valued in Sith Alchemy for its ability to mutate and enhance organic tissues, making it a key component in creating Sith-spawn creatures or enhancing bio-mechanical droids.
- Can be forged into small weapons like knives or daggers, which can cause mutations or corruptive effects on those they wound.
- Can be anodized once forged.
STRENGTHS
Mutative Weaponry: When forged into small weapons, such as knives or daggers, Hemathium can cause targeted mutations or corruptions in living targets.
Alchemical Enhancement: Acts as a potent catalyst in Sith Alchemy, significantly amplifying the effects of rituals or experiments involving organic transformation or enhancement.
Bio-Metal Integration: Hemathium can seamlessly bond with biological tissue, making it ideal for creating bio-mechanical constructs or enhancing living organisms, including weaponized grafts or implants.
WEAKNESSES
Unstable and Dangerous: Hemathium's mutative properties are difficult to control, and there is a high risk of backfiring during use, causing unintended mutations in the wielder or nearby allies.
Limited Forging Capacity: The metal is highly volatile and can only be safely forged into small weapons like knives or daggers. Larger weapons or armor are prone to instability and can cause catastrophic failure.
Corruptive Side Effects: The corruptive influence of Hemathium can lead to the permanent degradation or mutation of the wielder's body over time, requiring regular alchemical treatments to mitigate.
DESCRIPTION
It appears as a deep, blood-red substance, with a surface that glistens eerily, resembling freshly spilled blood. This unsettling appearance is matched by its unique properties, which make it a coveted resource for Sith Alchemists and warriors alike.
One of Hemathium's most notable characteristics is its ability to interact with organic material. When in proximity to living tissue, the metal bonds at a cellular level, triggering powerful biological reactions. These reactions can be harnessed for a variety of purposes, from enhancing natural regenerative abilities to inducing rapid, often grotesque mutations. This makes Hemathium invaluable in the creation of bio-mechanical droids and Sith-spawn creatures, where it can seamlessly integrate metal and flesh into a powerful, if unpredictable, union.
Despite its volatility, Hemathium can be forged into small weapons, such as knives or daggers. When used in combat, these weapons carry the metal's corruptive influence, causing wounds that might fester and mutate, potentially spreading the metal's dark power locally. The effects can be both immediate and long-lasting, with mutations ranging from debilitating physical changes to complete loss of control over the affected body parts. These weapons are particularly feared for their ability to incapacitate opponents not just through physical injury, but through the corruption of their very biology.
However, Hemathium is not without its dangers. Its bio-reactive nature is difficult to control, and any mistake in its handling can lead to catastrophic consequences. The metal's mutative properties do not discriminate, meaning that the wielder themselves are at constant risk of unintended side effects. Prolonged use of Hemathium weapons or exposure to the metal without proper alchemical safeguards can lead to the permanent degradation or corruption of the user's body, necessitating regular treatments to stave off the more severe effects.
Hemathium is also notoriously difficult to work with. Its volatile nature means that it can only be safely forged into small weapons, with larger objects prone to instability and catastrophic failure. As a result, it is not suitable for use in armor or large-scale weaponry, its potential largely confined to more specialized applications where its unique properties can be carefully controlled.
