The Powder Toy

Quoozle

What do you think of this idea? Basalt:

A solid

It has a fairly low melting point.

It could be eroded by SLTW or BUBW (not sure which is better), and very very quickly by acid.

When the magma hardens the Basalt could develop cracks (little veins of stone which empty out or something)

Could have crystals of QRTZ inside it when it hardens.

Any thoughts?

i dont see any uses but i like the idea. I think it will break saves.

Quoozle

Actually, that's one big flaw. I didn't think of that. It could be the solid form of a different element like magma or something.

What sort of uses would it have? I like the idea.

Quoozle

The small veins would let liquids through and not powders since they're fairly narrow... I was thinking of it almost as art rather than for a particular use but it would be a non-flammable fairly good insulator of heat.

Why copy one element with a new name just to support your own? Try making it integrate into the existing elements.

Quoozle

Would it not break saves otherwise? I'm open to suggestions though.

I like the Idea of it having it's own element, but just have it so when it melts, it form molten basalt or magma. no reason to muck about with lava.

Quoozle

I agree now I just hadn't thought of it.
