UMAE 2026 - Grintex

Art Page - Master Post - Patreon

This is an off the cuff thing. This was something dumb I came up with that I decided to expand upon and fully canonize into ULTRAMagic Alternate.

The Lore:

GRINTEX

• Grintex is an anomalous material originating from The Lost Era. The Lost Era is the time before Outer Void itself existed, and traces of that era regularly bleed into modernity
• A perfectly smooth and sleek material, it is infinitely stretchy and indestructible
• Pure black by default, gains the grin when it is refined. It can only be refined by those originally from The Lost Era.
• Grintex is a dangerous material to work with as it can warp the minds of those who use it. It is widely believed to be the blood of a chaotic Lost Era God who entered modernity through a screaming Gravastar.
• Grintex should never be worn, but that has not stopped those mad enough to trifle with forces they cannot hope to comprehend...
• The Sludge God is one of the few Lost Era Gods that can refine Grtinex into a safe state, but she can only do so much with it before the anomalous properties rear their ugly heads.
• This material can easily be confused for Polymateria, making it incredibly dangerous to collect out in the Outer Void.

What are Screaming Gravastars and what is the Lost Era? Well, Lore Entry 28 on Inferno touches on The Lost Era, and Screaming Gravastars will be the focus of Lore Entry 29.
