"I don't. Real fighters don't rely on such substances" Alan said.

"Nirncrux, when taken in powder form, significantly increases your physical and spell resistance for a time, the duration and potency dependent on the amount taken. It's also said to grant the user the ability suppress any form of supernatural phenomenon, even those that do not originate from Aetherius's magicka, forcing an area around the user to stubbornly remain the way it is. It's said to be more than enough to shut down the powers of a Fontaine.

However, Nirncrux has dangerous side-effects when one becomes addicted to it, and Nirncrux is addictive to many, while others remain completely healthy and unaffected by the withdrawal symptoms that had claimed the minds of so many.

Honestly, the high council even though of using the Nirncrux to create an army enough to challenge the Fontaines, but they didn't. They're likely biding their time.

The high council controls the steady supply of Nirncrux. In turn, they control the Royal Guard."
