Echanite

Metal
Echanite is a rare metal found in the remains of ancient Echanai race. The metal was an important structural component to the inner bones of the giants. It served as a way for the Echanai to naturally conduct trigma energy throughout their bodies.

Trigma Potential
Echanite can activate the power of the Trigma by itself. Non-spiritually capable individuals can use this method of trigma activation to their advantage. Echanite activates the trigma because the souls of the echanai rebels are forever trapped within their own flesh, despite their decomposition. The Trigma must first be firmly embedded within a pocket of the metal. The only downside to this method is that it is fairly weak, as the souls within are slowly receding into nothing overtime. Strongly charged echanite is fairly hard to come by in the cosmos. The only way to find any, worth weponizing (via trigma embedding) is within the bodies of wardens. A useful way to recharge weak echanite is to install some form of plasma distribution system. If any one part of an echanite tool/weapon/artifact is in contact with plasma, the trigma potential is considerably increased.
