	A number of magical substances exist, which were used for different purposes besides the use of simple energies like fex and vorsys. Many of these had specific properties that lent themselves to the creation of magical items. This was usually done by filling an object with magic or imbuing it with magical properties.

			===Vorshards===
	Other substances were thought to be "magic-adjacent". [[Vorshards]], for example, do not contain vorsys, but are nevertheless found to be rich in non-magical energy. The Runesworn were said to have used these shards to power [[automatons]] to conserve magical essence for other things. Vorshards were also thought to be responsible for sparking all life on the planet. After the Purge, the use of automatons grew tremendously, especially by the [[dwarves]], as they did not require magical abilities to create or power.
