[[Summary::Crystallized remnants of ancient supernovas, and an incredibly potent source of fuel. | ]]
Solarite crystals are the remnants of ancient supernovae, blasted across the galaxy by the intense force of their creation. Solarite is a highly energetic, variably radioactive , and - — when handled correctly - — easy and safe form of energy. When used as cores in [[Solarite Power Cell (3.5e Equipment)|radiation-shielded power cells]], solarite is a highly stable and sought after energy source within spacefaring societies. It is rare in the outer rim of galaxies, but quite commonplace closer to the core.
Solarite is always crystalline in nature. Its lattice is octahedral.
Byproduct of dwarf novae, the weakest form of naturally occurring solarite bears a reddish hue. It casts faint red light in a 10-foot radius of shadowy illumination.
When completely used up, it becomes ''[[#Depleted Solarite|depleted solarite]]''.
==== Yellow Solarite====
Byproduct of the death of Sol-sized stars, yellow solarite has a brilliant golden sheen and is by far the most common. It casts mild golden light with the intensity of a torch.
Once used up, it decays into fully charged ''[[#Red Solarite|red solarite]]''.
==== White Solarite ====
Intensely bright and potent, ''white solarite'' comes from large, high-luminosity stars. It casts white light as a ''[[SRD:Daylight|daylight]]'' spell within a 20-foot radius.
Once used up, it decays into fully charged ''[[#Yellow Solarite|yellow solarite]]''.
==== Blue Solarite ====
The most energetic form of common solarite, ''blue solarite'' is the byproduct of a blue giant's supernova. It casts scalding cyan light as a full-radius ''[[SRD:Daylight|daylight]]'' spell, and deals 1d6 points of typeless damage to any creature within this range every [[SRD:Round|round]]. Energy weapons powered by blue solarite energy sources also cause instant exposure to Dangerous-level [[Radiation (3.5e Variant Rule)|radiation]].
Once used up, it decays into fully charged ''[[#White Solarite|white solarite]]''.
==== Black Solarite ====
Byproduct of the death of supermassive stars that collapsed into stellar black holes, black solarite's radiation is inimical to all life. If not harnassed properly with the help of advanced technology, it will create strange gravity events within a radius proportional to the mass of the crystal. When exposed to a charge, black solarite can bend the laws of mass-energy equivalence and manipulate the relative mass of objects, making it capable of powering FTL travel, warping, and hyperjumps. It casts darkness in a 30-foot radius, reducing the illumination by one step in that area; full daylight-level light becomes bright illumination, bright illumination becomes shadowy illumination and shadowy illumination becomes total darkness.
Once used up, it decays into fully charged ''[[#Blue Solarite|blue solarite]]''. Throughout all stages of its decay, one pound of black solarite can generate 13,200 charges of energy; the same as 660 [[Fusion Cell (3.5e Equipment)|fusion cells]].
