Cream coloured rocks found naturally as large deposits with one dimension much larger than the other two. Stabilisation pillars are often kept in these shapes, primarily because while cutting them down into smaller pieces is possible, not only are their advantages to keeping them larger, but cutting them has to be done with diamond and approximately as easy as cutting iron with steel. The second issue with using stabilisation pillars is their weight. Stabilisation pillars being twice as heavy as solid gold blocks of the same size. It is thought that if they weren’t so useful that no one would use this nightmarish material. Stabilisation pillars are not effected my magic in the same way as literally every other material. Stabilisation pillars increase in weight 100 fold when exposed to magic and become much more resilient to damage. The magic targeting the pillar also undergoes a change. The pillar effectively becoming the caster of the magic as either the scrafice stage of arcane magic is drawn out from near instantaneous to a few weeks or the realisation stage of classical magic is drawn out from a fraction of a second to several years (exact values relative to the size of the stabilisation pillar. During this time the magic operates perfectly normally, just over much longer periods of time.

Normal use:

The most common use for Stabilisation Pillars is the operation of the teleportation travel network (TTN). There are a couple of quirks to Stabilisation Pillars. The use of stabilisation pillars on accursed species effectively increases the resistance rating of the accursed species by 3 for that particular magic. If this corrected resistance rating results in a resistance rating of 11, the stabilisation pillars are known to temporally deactivate. A corrected resistance rating of 13 effectively wipes the stabilisation pillar of encoded magic. The TTN having a secondary use of being an abomination detection system. This serves some use in that it is a useful warning system but on the other hand the panic that it can cause coupled with the loss of a major transport system has it’s own dangers.

Relics:

Ethereal Cutter: One of the three blades that was broken down to make triple fissure. The word blade is used in a rough sense. Ethereal cutter was a bladeless hilt with a small core of Stabilisation Pillar stone. An exception to the rule considering a typical Stabilisation Pillar sizing it was however used to contain a magical singularity. So not only did the stabilisation pillar increase the duration of magical singularity dramatically from a fraction of a second to a persistent effect but increase the size from a single point to a blade sized location. Ethereal cutter effectively becoming a blade that can only cut the magical.
