Mana-Garden Compost / Nutrients

This sealed compost blends sterilized coir, powdered basalt, fungal inoculant, and charge-buffering silver clay for mana-sensitive crops. Dry, it smells of rain dust and mushrooms. Wet, a faint ozone note is normal; sharp ammonia is not. Mix one part compost with three parts inert substrate, hydrate with low-mineral water, and let it rest under shielded light for forty-eight hours before planting. Licensed ritual gardens buy whole drums. Independent shamans buy costly five-liter sacks and reuse every clean handful. Ordinary galley crops gain nothing from it. Copper filings, untreated sewage compost, or residual herbicide can twist the charge gradient, producing pale roots and leaves that bite the tongue. Put contaminated mix into a shared hydro loop and every magical cutting downstream may fail together—an expensive little apocalypse in a room that smells like wet dirt.
