Ichor-Alchohol is a clear fluid discovered by Yesteel,Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content one of the Five Scholars, to aid in the creation of Lifeless.
Creation
In the time before the Manywar, the Five Scholars studied the magic of Awakening together, seeking to uncover new Commands and understand how Awakening operated. Yesteel discovered a ichor-alcohol during this time. This new process made it easier to create Lifeless that lasted longer.
Uses
Ichor-alcohol's main use is to increase the length of time a Lifeless can remain active without requiring a new Breath.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content Ichor-alcohol also makes the Awakening of Lifeless require fewer Breaths, and the process becomes easier to perform and cheaper, because new Breaths are less often required.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content It is put into the veins of the Lifeless by using a small hand pump, in order to avoid damaging the blood vessels of the Lifeless.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content
In humans, the pump is often attached to a valve in the neck of the Lifeless.
Ichor-alcohol does have some weaknesses though. Since it acts as blood to the Lifeless it will need to be replaced if they become cut and drained of it.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content The Lifeless will continue to function for a brief period of time before shutting down. Also over time the ichor-alcohol can become corrupted so it needs to be regularly checked and replaced.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content It is important to note that ichor-alcohol is not a requirement for the creation of Lifeless.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content The creation of Lifeless without ichor-alcohol, such as Kalad's Phantoms, requires more Breaths but they do not need maintenance like other Lifeless with ichor-alcohol do.
Effects on Nalthis
The discovery of ichor-alcohol drastically altered the course of history on Nalthis. It was one of the main causes of the Manywar. Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content Lifeless were now cheaper, meaning kings could create armies that didn't have to eat. Jealous of Yesteel's descovery Shashara, another of the Five Scholars, to try to invent more new Awakening processes.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content She invented new Commands that allowed for Lifeless to be created with a single Breath.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content It also caused her to discover the way to create Type-Four BioChromatic entities, such as Nightblood.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content Shashara's two discoveries also helped to cause the Manywar.
