Rendrock

[[File:Rend.png|frame|---PLACEHOLDER---

Rendrock in different forms.]] Rendrock is a mineral that is found naturally in the plains of Anti and is the only thing known to grow there. It's often mined/collected as a valuable, decorative resource (Given how rare it is) but also holds a practical application in the creation of magic-resisting armour.

It appears to have a magnetic effect on just about everything, but only at an incredibly close proximity which renders it inferior to other forms of magnetism, however the Anti-born structure of Rendrock causes it to naturally absorb things as well as draw them in, which means any magic forced upon Rendrock is automatically sucked into the nothingness of whatever may be on the inside of Rendrock.

Uses
The Shadowfiend race holds Rendrock in a high regard and it is included in the coat of arms of all Shadowfiend factions. They mainly use it in combination with Shadowmeld by lacing the usual malleable structure of it with small traces of Rendrock to make armour that absorbs and negates magic. As Shadowfiends are physically invincible, the defence against magic is their top priority, which is likely why Rendrock is the only thing they hoard which is for an actual purpose and not just out of plain greed.

Shadowfiends have also learned the ways of reverse engineering their original Power Reduction Runes into Power Amplification Runes for the sole reason of strengthening Rendrock's abilities; as a heavy defense against magic makes for a nigh undefeatable Shadowfiend.

Weaknesses
Rendrock is akin to glass with how brittle it is and a well aimed strike with any weapon ought to smash it to pieces; weakening its effects. Rendrock can also become inert if it absorbs too much Light magic, which turns it into useless crystals that have absolutely no effect other than that they break even easier.
