| The process eventually resulted in Dimium, also known as Orichalcum or simply as Refined Potensium. This gold-colored, liquid substance achieved extremely high energy density, while remaining stable enough for transport without fear. It also had a natural tendency to absorb ambient magical energy in order to achieve a natural equilibrium, achieving an ability to charge itself over time. Unfortunately, this self-charging ability was comparatively slow. | The process eventually resulted in Dimium, also known as Orichalcum or simply as Refined Potensium.

| The slowness of dimium's ability to charge itself, as well as the very high cost associated with making just a small amount of it, meant that fuel-grade potensium would be far more preferable in the majority of situation, such as for airship travel. Further, its extremely high energy content also led to fears that it could be utilized as a form of explosive in the wrong hands, and thus its production was strictly controlled. | The slowness of dimium's ability to charge itself, as well as the very high cost associated with making just a small amount of it, meant that fuel-grade potensium would be preferable in the majority of situations, such as for airship travel.

| In the modern day, dimium's main value is in the creation of magical items that are used a limited number of times each day, where it can act as a battery to store energy that the item will use to power its abilities. It is also often used in small constructs, where the power needed to operate the construct is approximately the same as the energy accumulated by the battery each day. | In the modern day, dimium's main value is in the creation and improvement of magical items, where it can act as a battery to store energy that the item will use to power its abilities.
