Nathan Bloodscrawl
House Bloodscrawl Patriarch
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
One of the most ancient and honored Relics in all of Ession's history at one time, but almost completely forgotten in the modern era, The Furnace of Ession chooses Jedi who have been beset by terrible tragedies, and/or made tragic mistakes in turn. The Crystal offers great power, and a chance to set right those wrongs and become a true champion of the light at the cost of potential mutation of the body to better channel the Force Power Pyrokinesis, as well as influencing the user towards decisions that may conflict with more selfish desires. Elaine Tear, who would later be forcibly altered into the shapeshifting Sith Sorceress known as The Battalion, wielded this crystal after it found its way into her possession. It was inside her lightsaber for years during her forced Exile from Ession as punishment for killing The Bloodscrawl Family, leaving her after she resumed her activities on Ession.
Nathan is not exactly certain what prompted the legendary crystal to choose him as the next wielder, given how his clandestine activities against The Cult of The Brain Demon go against the Jedi Code in letter and spirit, and considers it a sick cosmic joke on the part of The Force giving him something Elaine relied on.
Though he fully recognizes his culpability for her current state, and is constantly haunted by his decision given the horrors it unleashed on people he never intended to suffer, he is still ultimately held back by his bitterness towards her for not only killing his parents, but marrying his daughter while he spent centuries dead. Nathan wants to get rid of it, but the deadly foes he faces compel him to keep the crystal, perhaps in anticipation of using it on its previous owner. His complex alignment in the Force however, makes properly using the crystal to its fullest extent tricky...he constantly struggles against the merciful feelings it tries to impart, meaning he can only use it in truly grave emergencies, and absolutely cannot afford to use it in the presence of other Jedi, who would immediately sense it and question how he acquired such a powerful relic, or rather, why it chose him in particular...

- Energy: Low
- Kinetic: Low
- Lightsabers: Very High
- High Heat Tolerance/Flames: Extreme
- Dark Side: Extreme
- Acid: None
- Sonic: None
- Cryo: None
- Crystal emitting lightside infused flames when installed in a Lightsaber, so powerful it can potentially damage Alchemized, Force Imbued objects, Dark Side Spirits, also carrying a potential chance to ignite enemies and objects upon being struck.
- Imparts extreme resistance to flames through concentration, like a Sith Amulet.
- Imparts extreme resistance to the Dark Side through Concentration.
- Naturally boosts all Force Healing Attempts
- Heavily boosts ease of using Pyrokinesis.
- Naturally boosts the ability of the user to imbue objects with the Force (Imbued items always carry incendiary properties)
- Similar to the Heart of The Guardian, it increases the effects of any Lightsaber Crystal that is installed in the same hilt it is installed in.
- Powerful tool of meditation, at the cost of receiving fragments of the memories of past users
- Cutter Plus: When installed in a lightsaber hilt, creates a bright orange blade down to its core that emits light side infused flames that can potentially damage Alchemized or Force Imbued items, Dark Side Spirits/Beings, and potentially could ignite objects and enemies being struck with light side infused flames that are potentially very difficult to put out and could possibly cling to them.
- Imbue Plus: While on the owner's person, it aids in their ability to imbue objects with the Force (While using this item, an object imbued gains incendiary/Pyrokinesis effects)
- Heal Plus: The crystal boosts the user's skill in Force Healing themselves and others by a slight amount.
- Flame Plus: Carrying this crystal on one's person or in a hilt amplifies their ability to use Pyrokinesis by a slight amount
- Dark Shield: Through intense concentration, one can shield themselves from nearly all forms of direct assault from the Dark Side, similar in function to a Sith Amulet
- Flame Shield: Through intense concentration, one can protect themselves from extreme flame damage, similar to a Sith Amulet
- Enhancement: Similar to the Legendary Heart of the Guardian, the Crystal slightly boosts the effects of any other crystal installed in the same lightsaber hilt that it is
- Force Voids: Absolutely will not function in Force Voids
- Cryo: Suffering direct cryo damage causes the blade of any lightsaber hilt it's in to shut off for a few minutes until the crystal recovers from absorbing the attack
- Sonic: Sonic bolts bend around any blade generated by the crystal
- Acid: Immersion in acid would naturally destroy it
- Neutral Weakness: Neutral Powers are slightly harder to summon the focus to use, and the user suffers more damage from them.
- Slow: Any blade generated by this crystal is about a tenth slower to swing than normal due to intense gyroscopic forces generated.
- Impossible to not sense: The Light Side Signature of the weapon cannot be hidden. It will be sensed quite a considerable distance away from the user
- Influence: The user is forced to contend with the fragmented memories of every past wielder of the Crystal, as each left an imprint. This can manifest in the form of unwanted flashbacks, hallucinations of past users talking to them, questioning their decision making in a way that can be extremely uncomfortable, and the crystal itself attempts to influence the mind of the one who wields it to more merciful ends and may cause an unstable blade that shuts off at random if the user is dead set on a selfish aim. The more the User attempts to go their own way and not the Will of the Force, the more unstable any blade generated becomes. Worst of all, prolonged use of Pyrokinesis when wielding this crystal has a risk of mutating the user's body over time to better generate Pyrokinesis in various unpleasant ways, particularly in rendering the hands charred looking and skeletal (Yet retaining full functionality and strength). This may also reduce their ability to use offensive Neutral Powers even when no longer wielding the blade for a significant number of days afterward.
- Meditation required: To use it's ability to aid in Force Healing or creating imbued items, one must be stationary, meditating and calm.
- Conventional: It faces the same level of resistance from conventional and standard lightsaber Resistant materials not enhanced by the Force
