Residuum Dust is the finely ground powder of crystals that have been saturated with arcane energy. Mages, artificers, and alchemists alike use this powder as an efficient storage medium for magical energy, allowing it to be transferred, stored, or used in magical creation. The dust shimmers faintly with stored magic and is highly prized for its versatility.
- Arcane Reagent: Residuum Dust can be used in place of any material component that costs 250 gp or less in spellcasting, including the creation of magical items. It is consumed upon use.
- Spell Slot Recharge: A caster can consume a pinch of Residuum Dust as a bonus action, regaining one expended spell slot of 1st level. Alternatively, they may consume 100 gp worth of the dust to regain a spell slot of 2nd level or lower.
- Magic Item Crafting: Residuum Dust is a key component in the crafting of magical weapons, armor, or other enchanted items, used to bind arcane energy to physical objects.
