The Elemental Stones of Caelithar
Across Caelithar, from the lava-churned veins of the Infernwastes to the misty jungles of Nadaira’s Cradle, stories are told of the Elemental Stones—mystic crystals imbued with the raw power of the world’s foundational elements. These stones are not merely magical curiosities; they are relics of divinity, gifts, or scars, left by the gods themselves.
Each stone resonates with a particular elemental force: Infernite (fire), Aqualin (water), Aerane (air), Terranite (earth), Nadairstone (nature), Bloodstone (life), Doilfestone (mystical), and Anamstone (soul). Their energies can be harnessed and affixed to weapons, armor, and magical foci, granting warriors and scholars alike access to elemental magic in modular and deeply personal forms.
The process of bonding a stone to a weapon or armour is often ceremonial: involving chants, sigils, or aligning a stone with the item and must be done by a blacksmith, armourer, artificer, or somebody proficient with the appropriate tools. The stones can be added to weapons, armour, clothes, rods, staves, or wands providing that the items do not already have any magical properties. When infused into a staff, rod, or wand that is used for a magical focus the bonus to damage counts only for spells that require an attack roll. An item can hold up to 5 stones, the effects of the stones stack. As well players can consult with the DM to combine properties, for example a player could combine the infernite property Sear with an Aqualin's Surge Water to create a burst of boiling water that does 1d6 fire damage and pushes the target 10 feet. Once a stone is infused with a magical property and aligned to an item the property and item it is aligned to cannot change; however, stones for a particular item once aligned can be removed and replaced with another stone aligned with the item. This allows for the magic of an item to be altered to fit an adventurers needs.
Using items with elemental stones is taxing on the body and requires building up strength to channel their power with the more stones being more challenging. At certain levels the ability to use stones without penalty increases, using weapons beyond ability requires a CON save with a DC 10+3 for each stone above character level. For example a level 4 character can use two stones with no penalty, using a legendary weapon would require a Con ST DC 19 [10 + 9 (3 stones above level)], on a failed ST the character would take one level of exhaustion for each stone above level.
Level 1 - Can use items with 1 elemental stone
Level 4 - Can use items with 2 elemental stones
Level 7 - Can use items with 3 elemental stones
Level 10 - Can use items with 4 elemental stones
Level 13 - Can use items with 5 elemental stones (items with 5 elemental stones gain a unique property).
