Serpent Scales

Serpent Scales (SS) are a reagent that is in use on the Serpent Isle and on Pagan, harvested from -as the name already says- Serpents.

Serpent Isle
On the Serpent Isle, spells from the old Ophidian civilisation sometimes needed this reagent, as they often involved some kind of "snake-effect" that would be accomplished with it. However, the scales had to be specifically prepared and with the death of their civilisation, the method of preperation became lost and the mages of Moonshade had been unable to replicate it. As a result, only the remaining stocks of scales left over from the old ages are available - a stock that is becoming smaller with each usage.

Pagan
On Pagan, Serpent Scales were used in the magic scool of Thaumaturgy for the magical effect of destroying magical bonds. Interestingly enough, despite Mythran selling the reagent, no serpents were ever seen in the entirety of the Avatar's stay in the world.
