Manaspring Reed

Phragmites thaumaturgus

Flora - Magical

Manaspring Reed is a wetland reed with hollow stems filled with liquid mana, a primary source for stable mana extraction.

Physical Characteristics

Manaspring Reed grows 3-4 meters tall, with hollow stems filled with visible, flowing mana. It forms circular colonies around magical springs in wetlands.

Primary Uses

Primary source for stable mana extraction, essential in magical energy infrastructure, mana storage systems, and magical batteries.

Hazards and Toxicity

DANGER LEVEL: HIGH

Mana burns from broken stems, explosive decompression of mature stalks, raw mana exposure causes mutations, root system creates mana quicksand, and colony collapse releases toxic mana clouds.

Seasonal Risks

Spring: Maximum pressure buildup
Summer: Spontaneous mana discharge
Autumn: Unstable energy conversion
Winter: Flash-freezing mana bursts

Safe Handling Protocols

Mana-resistant gear and pressure release procedures required. Regular colony stability checks and emergency mana absorption equipment are necessary. Prepare for mutation reversal if exposed.
