Certain materials, plants, or artifacts (like jars) can serve as what are called "drains", which can absorb or neutralize lifeforce to prevent an overflow or imbalance. | Certain materials, minerals, plants, or artifacts (like jars) can serve as what are called "drains", which can absorb or neutralize lifeforce to prevent an overflow or imbalance. | ||
Most of the lifeforce inside these drains can be harvested later, but not fully, as forcefully taking all the lifeforce from something that contains it will start a process known as "lifeforce acidification". | Most of the lifeforce inside these drains can be harvested later, but not fully, as forcefully taking all the lifeforce from something that contains it will start a process known as "lifeforce acidification". | ||

Lifeforce acidification occurs when weakened, neutralized, and/or non-potent lifeforce found in drains is fully extracted past a certain limit. The material, plant or artifact will immediately begin to rapidly decay into a powder that then starts to froth up and form an acid which will burn to touch and melt through things like paper, plastic or glass, but not metal, as there it will just scratch or stain the metallic surface or roll off it. If the drain artifact was ''originally'' made out of metal, it will still decay into an acid due to lifeforce acidification, and this acid will act as described before, that is, scratching or staining ''other'' metallics and/or rolling off them. | Lifeforce acidification occurs when weakened, neutralized, and/or non-potent lifeforce found in drains is fully extracted past a certain limit.

In-universe, there is currently no explanation for why this happens, but certain scientists are looking into it. | In-universe, there is currently no explanation for why this happens, but certain scientists are looking into it. | ||
