A colossal, geobiological organism that forms the living heart and lungs of a Glade's ecosystem, its fractal spires reaching for an unseen source of power.

The vital fluid of the Silver Wellspring. It is a Conductive Vital Bind, appearing as a gleaming, white-silver fluid with high surface tension. It possesses extreme elasticity and tensile strength. When exposed to air, it forms a flexible, skin-like barrier that acts as an insulator against magical and physical leakage. It is the binding agent of the cosmos.

The vital fluid of the Black Wellspring. It is an Impact-Hardening Dampening Fluid, absolute black and light-absorbent. It defies intuition; it flows when handled gently but becomes rigid upon high-impact strikes, dispersing the force of a blow. It absorbs sound, light, and shock. It is the clotting agent of the dark.

The vital fluid of the Blue Wellspring. It is a Heavy Structural Binder, deep indigo and slow-moving. While fluid, it exerts immense hydraulic pressure. Upon magical agitation or specific catalyst contact, it undergoes a rapid, heat-releasing crystallization, hardening into a translucent, unbreakable solid faster than stone setting. It is the mortar of the Arbor's spine.

Engineered vegetation wired into the hydraulic grid of a Glade. These plants do not grow randomly; they are planted as "Organic Streetlamps." They absorb ambient magical pressure from the roots and release it as steady light, illuminating the subterranean cities of the Expanse.

A rare, pearlescent soil found only in the deepest, most ancient warrens of the Underweave. It is not merely earth; it is the Arboreal Placenta, the only substance in the mundane plane that acts as a perfect, uncorrupted osmotic interface with the Void Tree.

A resilient tree of the Chthonians whose fibrous wood can be processed into Gloom-hide: a tough, rewritable, but ultimately biodegradable medium for recording evolving knowledge.

The vital fluid of the Red Wellspring. It is a Hyper-Reactive Vital Oil, crimson and heavy. While stable at rest, it possesses extreme heat-generating potential. Upon high-velocity impact or magical agitation, the fluid undergoes a violent ignition, generating immense heat and pressure. It acts as a contact catalyst, clinging to surfaces and boiling them away.

A sacred, slow-growing tree of the Aetherials whose inner bark can be processed into Lumin-vellum: a brittle, crystalline, and near-eternal medium for inscribing unchanging truths.

A pervasive, atmospheric blight that leaks from the Athrelune Scar. Initially a phenomenon of "Cold Static," it was irradiated by the waste of the Spectral Epoch into a mutagenic fallout. It disrupts magical coherence and twists biological flesh into Voidspawn.

The vital fluid of the Green Wellspring. It is a Hyper-Active Vital Solvent, glowing with an unnaturally bright chartreuse hue. It is thin, runny, and chemically aggressive. It functions as a universal growth accelerator, dissolving inorganic matter to fuel rapid biological expansion, or corroding obstacles to clear blockage. It is the stomach acid of creation.

A hardy, broad-leafed plant that thrives in the humic-rich soil of the Marshwood Thicket. When brewed, its leaves release a mild, focused stimulant that enhances "True-Set"—the mental state required to maintain magical focus. It is the fuel of the scholar and the sentry.

The axis of all reality. It is not a tree of wood and leaf, but a structure of pure crystallized potential that erupted from the primal void. Its roots drink from the nothingness to produce Ichoryn, and its canopy touches the light of creation.

A rare, metaphysical fruit that blooms spontaneously in the deep Underweave or within Ruined Glades. It appears as a crystalline or shadowed geode that pulses with a resonant hum.
