	Carenocarbide is a naturally-occuring chemical compound found mainly in the region of the [[Barrier Range]], though it has been discovered in other regions. ~~It's~~ primary use is as a low-explosive. Though not dangerous in ~~it's~~ natural form, if the substance is exposed to oxygen and water vapor for an extended period of time, it eventually reacts and forms a potent, fast-burning compound very similar to gunpowder. It was favored extensively for this use throughout the [[Mage Wars]], as it could be combined with [[Magic-Tech]] to produce very powerful weapons.

Carenocarbide is a naturally-occuring chemical compound found mainly in the region of the [[Barrier Range]], though it has been discovered in other regions. It's primary use is as a low-explosive. Though not dangerous in it's natural form, if the substance is exposed to oxygen and water vapor for an extended period of time, it eventually reacts and forms a potent, fast-burning compound very similar to gunpowder. It was favored extensively for this use throughout the [[Mage Wars]], as it could be combined with [[Magic-Tech]] to produce very powerful weapons.
