Crystalbloom Tulip
Tulipa crystallus
Flora - MagicalPhysical Characteristics
The Crystalbloom Tulip stands 30-40 cm tall with crystalline matrices that have molecular-level magical conductivity. The petals display a full spectrum of colors, varying with absorbed magic. The growth cycle is lunar-dependent, making it particularly valuable for magical research and enchantment work.
Primary Uses
This species is an essential component in magical catalysts and serves as core material for enchantment workshops. It's used in magical energy storage systems and is a key component in mana stabilization rituals. The crystalline structure makes it particularly effective for channeling and storing magical energy.
Hazards and Toxicity
Crystal shards can cause severe magical lacerations, and overcharged blooms can explode violently. The plant absorbs and redirects nearby magical effects unpredictably. Crushed petals release toxic magical residue, and failed blooms create magical dead zones that can persist for years.
Seasonal Risks
- Spring: Maximum energy absorption and instability
- Summer: Increased explosion risk during peak magic hours
- Autumn: Crystal structure becomes brittle and sharp
- Winter: Dangerous energy discharge during dormancy
Safe Handling Protocols
Mana-resistant gloves are required for any interaction with this species. Energy dampening fields are recommended, along with regular charge level monitoring. Proper crystal disposal procedures must be followed, and emergency nullification measures should be ready at all times.
