Although it was a material unique to this small plane, Kroya still needed to determine what it could do.
For instance, could it really only replace soil for growing magic plants? Did it have no other effects?
He tried probing it with his magic.
The moment he poured his magic into the soft, jellylike blue-green crystal clay, it turned scarlet.

He was already considering using it as a building material. This claylike substance was
