Sorcium

Please do not remove the placeholder, period.

Sorcuim is a substance found in the air, for some it's a great power sometimes used as a last resort. For others, a source of study.

Appearance
When enough Sorcium is gathered in one place it can be seen by normal people, as a bright teal, somehwat remiscient of Aurorae.

For Men, Mer and Beastfolk
Sorcium is a great power, and as sucgh comes at a great price and is not without risks, when a mage absorbs Sorcium, it begins to seep out of every orifice and pore in his body as it slowly rips the persons innards apart, destroying them completely. But in the short instance before death they gain immense power, able to reshape reality in their image.

For Dochal
So far only Dochal have been proven to be somewhat attuned to it, allowing them to use it properly, but still not without risk as absorbing too much would kill them the same way anyone else would, they use this power as fuel for magic instead of Magicka as other races throughout Nirn do.

Xavion
Xavion absorbed sorcium in the merethic era, as he absorbed more and more, he repeatdly used it to heal his own body and mind until he gained so much power he could attune his own body to the Sorcium gaining immuity to it's negative effects retaining the positive, in the process gaining absolute power. After this he somehow granted himself godhood through Sorcium and edited himself to become the supreme one.
