OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Some Alchemists brought into being unspeakable horrors and others forged weapons of terrifying potency. Kal of Masque, on the other hand, cured male pattern baldness and made cute, force-wielding owls. It should come as no surprise, then, that his next project featured hot tubs prominently; having spent years studying the nature of organics, the Shadow had determined that all too many were in desperate need of recreation.
The exact details of the Water's creation is a trade secret, but it is known to involve 'water' from the not-quite-physical Netherworld of the Force, obscure alchemical practices, a significant number of Weavers, and small quantities of ethically-sourced exotic reagents.
It is not unheard of for the Water to be the true reason a cunningly marketed "natural spring" has restorative properties.
- Intent: Magic hot tub/pool water for medical purposes... OK, it's mostly for recreation.

- Canon Link: N/A

- Primary Source: N/A
- Name: Waters of Restoration, aka 'the Water'
- Manufacturer: Greystone Mercantile via Kal of Masque
- Affiliation: Greystone Mercantile
- Market Status: Open-Market
- Modularity: Significant; the truly eccentric could even have Essence of Vitae mixed in to make a 'fountain of youth'.
- Production: Minor
- Material: 'Water' from the Netherworld
- Classification: Force-imbued 'Water'
- Method of Consumption: N/A, not meant for consumption.
- Average Life: Not meant for consumption; can last for years or decades in a pool/hot tub if properly maintained.
- Nutritional Value/Allergies/Side Effects/Purpose: The Water has restorative properties similar to bacta submersion, relaxes muscles, and encourages comfort and enjoyment. Known to cause a 'pleasant tingling' in tired muscles or injured areas. Suppresses pain and discomfort. Is largely harmless if swallowed due to being broken down by stomach acids, but doing so confers no benefits whatsoever.
- The Waters of Restoration possess self-cleaning properties that allow it to purge itself of contaminants and waste - it can even disintegrate leaves, dirt, and the like. These properties do not affect living beings no matter how long they remain within; droids could be harmed over a longer timeframe, but HRDs and other models covered in synthskin should be just fine as the Water errs on the side of caution.
- The Water can shift colour according to the specifications of its owner; it can be static, follow set patterns, or respond to stimuli.
- The Water isn't really water. Both aquatic and nonaquatic lifeforms can breathe through it; no one drowns in the Water.
- Notably, Starseer Jellyfish thrive within the Water; it has been known to slightly bolster their natural abilities.
- Supernatural Comfort: The Water is supernaturally enjoyable, affording all but the most tormented of beings a chance to enjoy life.
- Restorative Nature: The Water is functionally comparable to bacta, gently restoring users to tip-top shape as they relax in comfort.
- Prolonged Enjoyment: The Water, while only slightly inferior to bacta, acts noticeably slower. It may well be ideal for a comfortable recovery process, but should not be relied on for battlefield use and other emergencies unless no other options are available.
- Forceful Nature: The Water cannot affect beings fully cut off from the Force.
