Red Eco

Red eco is one of the major types of eco in the Old World. Known as the eco of strength, it is one of the two offensive eco types, the other being yellow eco. Red eco gives the user physical strength, making their close-range attack power much greater. It is prominent in Magma City and Riptide Falls, where builders, miners, and shadowers use it to their great advantage.

Characteristics
Red eco is red, appearing similar to a cloud of flame with a smaller orange orb of energy inside of it. When flowing openly from vents, it appears to be more like a fire, with a concentrated orange center.

History
Found up in the Snowy Mountains, Aku Brand of Volcanic Crater discovered the dormant power of red eco and took it upon himself to study it, becoming a colleague to the other sages at the time and using Sage Dissolution when his time came, allowing his apprentice to take over as the Sage of Red Eco. Brand often described the eco as being as volcanic as the place he lived in, very similar to fire.

For the physical prowess it granted, three occupations came to use it often in their field of work. Builders used red eco to strengthen their bodies while building settlements, allowing them to get more work done in a certain amount of time. Miners used red eco to fortify their physical capabilites so they could devote more time to the mines. Shadowers, on the other hand, used the eco because it bolstered their ability to assassinate easily. Interestingly enough, the eco seeped into their bloodlines and granted their descendants mysterious hidden powers. Descendants of builders could possess the ironic power of intangibility, to allow them through many of the things they created. Miners could develop temporal deceleration (the ability to move at a normal speed while everything else is slowed down), which helped them in the mines to escape a collapse in time. Shadowers, interestingly enough, had developed the power of invisibility, to allow them to go further in their work. For these reasons, red eco became integral in Magma City, where miners made up a great deal of the population. It also became important to Riptide Falls, the traditional home of the shadowers.
