Description
Aurium 🔮 — the shifting violet artifact crystal Pixius consume.
Aurium (AURI) is the Artifact Crystal of the Golden Pixiu universe — a living violet 🔮 crystal that doesn’t stay one color. Most of the time it glows deep purple, but under stress, heat, or proximity to strong energy it can “shift” into violet‑blue 💎 pink magenta, and even gold‑flecked flashes like it’s carrying sunlight inside.
In the lore, Pixius don’t just wear Aurium — they consume it. They “eat” tiny shards to convert it into stored power, sharpening instinct, boosting endurance, and feeding the aura that makes them legendary. To a Pixiu, Aurium is nutrition + ignition — a fuel that bonds to their core.
That’s why the rest of the universe is obsessed with it. Outsiders see it as the ultimate energy commodity: portable, dense, and rare. Hunters, miners, and syndicates chase deposits, trying to cut, refine, and sell it. Those who can’t bond with it still try to weaponize it — but it’s unstable when handled wrong, and it tends to “flare” when exploited.
The conflict at the heart of Aurium: Pixius treat it as a sacred fuel that keeps their lineage strong… while everyone else treats it as a resource to strip‑mine.
