Tainted Magic Materials and Resources

The mod introduces several new materials required for its high-tier infusions and crafting recipes.

Shadowmetal

Shadowmetal is the core material of the mod. It is heavier and more durable than Voidmetal but lacks its innate self-repairing properties unless specifically infused.

• Shadow Ore: Found naturally in the world in veins of 4-8 blocks. It can also be created by transmuting Stone in a crucible with Metallum, Praecantatio, Tenebrae, and Vacuos
• Shadowmetal Ingot: Obtained by smelting Shadow Ore in a furnace or via crucible transmutation

Shards and Essences

• Warp Shard: Created by tossing a Balanced Shard into a crucible with 4 Alienis.
• Flux Shard: Created by tossing a Balanced Shard into a crucible with Vitium.
• Shard of Creation: An extremely rare and expensive endgame component made from Void Essence, Nether Stars, and Primordial Pearls. Used for the most powerful items like the Flyte Charm.
• Phial of Crimson Blood: Obtained by striking entities with a Hollow Dagger while carrying empty glass phials. This replaces the older 'Crystal Blood' mechanic.

Fabrics

• Shadow-Imbued Cloth: Crafted from Enchanted Fabric and Shadowmetal Ingots. Used for high-tier wand caps and armor.
• Crimson Cloth: Used to craft the iconic robes of the Crimson Cult.
