Brief Description:

For thousands of years, cores have been highly sought after for their magical properties, but few know that they also possess powerful healing and health-boosting properties. Generally, there are two types of cores – naturally made and man-made. The naturally made cores are considered very similar to condensed magic while the man-made cores are spherical constructs imbued with magic. While it is hard to consume cores as a whole, many medicine makers have taken to grinding the cores to powder for safer and easier consumption.

Why Grind Cores?

When cores are ground into powder, they lose their magical properties. Yet this is actually a good thing as consuming something with too much magic in it could cause severe internal problems. Although most of the magic escaped from the cores, there are some magic residue remaining. It is this residue that tempers and boosts the overall health of the consumer as well as provide some extra benefits.

General Steps:

Before you grind cores to powder, first sterilize them by boiling them in a pot of water. Then, take the cores and shatter them. Make sure you are not close to the cores when you shatter them as the magic within the cores will disperse explosively. After most of the stored magic has been dispersed, began grinding the pieces until they become powdery. Finally, distribute the powder into 10 gram dosages.

Note: Taken as a supplement. Careful not to take too much and limit dosage to maximum 1 dose per day as it would not be beneficial any more.

Uses:

All cores have general uses:

All cores are used to sustain life…to grant life. Through consumption, the core powder can not only produce various antioxidants in the body but also increase lifespan. Via external use, the magical residue in the core powder can stimulate the skin and promote external healing. By mixing the powder with water and a stamina potion, you can make a paste which you can rub on your body and produce calming properties that help relieve stress, improve mood, and promote sleep.

Different cores have different extra benefits.

Some examples are:

Slime core powder can increase intelligence as well as increase acid resistance. Golem core powder can increase defense as well as increase stone/earth resistance. Elemental core powder can increase magic capacity as well as increase magic resistance. Phoenix core powder can increase fire resistance as well as promote youthfulness.

Note: Different species produce different cores which can contribute with different extra benefits. For example, a fire slime has a fire slime core which can not only increase intelligence, but also increase fire resistance.

More uses of cores in medicine will be introduced in later lessons.
