Description
“In those places where blood crystals are mined, darker minds may turn towards complicated purposes of the crystals. A skilled sculptor who knows the properties of blood crystal and their magical capabilities may be able to hew a golem from it, one that is particularly resistant to magic, and which contains the crushing gravitational force necessary to compress carbon into crystal.” - excerpt from “The Golem Handbook”.
Crystalline vigor. Blood crystals are a much-desired source of magical material that is easily imbued with supernatural properties or used as a magical component for spellcasting. It is mined under very strict circumstances, in very small amounts, but those who own a blood crystal mine can count themselves rich before ever mining a single shard. However, because of its limited availability, blood crystals are much sought after and desired, and creatures with the ambition to subjugate others often use it to sculpt a follower from it - the blood crystal golem.
Resistant to the arcane. Because of the innate magical properties of blood crystals, golems created from this material are especially resistant to many spells and outright immune to some. They themselves are naturally magical as well, causing their fist attacks or use of weaponry to breach even the most talented fighter’s defense. While a blood crystal golem is not a particularly frightening foe on the basis of the destruction it can wreak, it is extremely durable and hardy, and can survive many hits that would be lethal to a lesser being, which increases its overall danger level.
