Recondite

A rare green metal that is the source of magic.

Recondite can be either pure or part of an alloy. Recondite alloys are referred to as veneficious. Much like how ferrous metals will point north when floating freely, due to the earth's magnetic field, veneficious metals respond to a newly-discovered and mysterious magical field.

Recondite was discovered by Crossover Research which had discovered it from their forays into interdimensional exploration. The properties of this other dimension carried over into our dimension through recondite slowly exposing the properties through it's form of radiation.
