Hardlight (Cosmoria)

Description

Hardlight, when produced, is usually a light blue in color. Hardlight can be any color to its creator's liking. The hardlight above is a considerably thin blue disk, typical for most hardlight constructs.

Hardlight, also called Photonic Matter or colloquially referred to as Phaselace is an assembly of photons which are trapped in a nonlinear medium. Most often, hardlight is produced by shooting numerous weak beams of photons through dense rubidium gas near absolute zero. With time and heavy levels of energy and resources, hardlight may be produced at a practical rate, which allows for military and everyday use. Hardlight, being produced at a rate which allows for consumer buying, is typically very expensive as well.

Properties

After hardlight is made, it is shown to hold extreme properties. Disks which are only several atoms thick hold very heavy defensive properties. As a result of its thin nature, hardlight may also be used for the development of melee weapons. However, hardlight may not necessarily be wholly solid. Hardlight may be used for soft, liquid, gaseous, or any other tangible material. While some are more expensive to others to make, they can still be forged in any consistency of matter.
