+
+-   Incredibly rare.
+-   Appears in its natural form as a cloudy but shiny mineral.
+-   Behaves as a metal alloy, capable of being melted down and mixed with other metals.
+    -   When mixed with steel and worked properly (which only a few weaponsmiths are capable of), it can create weapons of exceptional sharpness (+1).
+    -   Some wizards and demihuman crafters know how how to use it to simplify the process of making magic items.
+-   Can be extracted out of most empty magic items.
+
+### Omnium Pieces
+
+The Grand Consortium mints coins with small amounts of from it called "omnium pieces" that are worth 500 gp each to other members.
+
+-   They are used to gain entrance to private locations for Consortium members only, like the Library of Elevys on Nexus Prime, or Arcanists' Alley.
+-   Some services that can be traded for omnium pieces:
+    -   The Consortium Teleportation Network charges 1 omnium piece to teleport up to 5 people to any other circle.
+    -   The Sorcerers' Messaging Service charges 1 omnium piece to send a message and get a reply on any plane in the ATU.
+    -   The the Library of Elevys has sages that work for omnium pieces, researching topics in exchange for one (or more) coins.
+-   The omnium can be extracted from the coins by experienced arcane crafters and used to create magic items.
