Ionized Agrinium Powder


Recommended Posts

”When a Jensaarai needs to make a sudden and total retreat, it is as simple as a flick of the wrist. Throw a cannister and vanish.”

-The Sun-dragon

 

Ionized Agrinium Powder:

 

Agrinium is an aluminium alloy commonly used to make droid armor and was highly resistant to all forms of radiation. Jensaarai craftsmen carefully superheat plates of castoff Agrinium to ionize them with an electrical pulse. After that the plates are ground into a fine powder and mixed with a spattering of sand and other metal shavings carefully gathered by the craftsmen. This mixture is then collected in fragile porcelain containers.

 

These containers are small enough to be held in one hand and thrown. Many Jensaarai carry one to three of these nestled within their armor or in a pouch on their belt. These can be thrown at one’s feet causing a near instantaneous burst of powder to erupt into the air. The powder obscures the user from sight, hanging in the air for several minutes if there is not a strong breeze. The ionized agrinium veils the caster from electric and radiation scans. This allows the semi-skilled Jensaarai warrior to make a quick escape, his movements shadowed from view. 

 

All of this being said, if one were to inhale the ionized powder, it immediately results in a bout of severe coughing. Many who inhale too much of the agrinium came come down with a severe and sometimes fatal respiratory illness. For this sake, Jensaarai are trained to only make use of these low-tech grenades when wearing their helmet and armor; although in a pinch a warrior can use the powder to save their own life.
