Not fictional, but I adjusted the lodestones to act as a deterrent for magic, swords made of lodestone are extremely effective for fighting magic with, and a steel edge for those sexy runes to be cast, allowing for immaculate use cases for those without magical abilities
However, it leads to you being unable to be healed with magic, and if you yourself use magic then you essentially turn yourself at best, unable to use magic, at worst, a bomb from trying too hard
Lodestones also generate electricity when affected by Magic, so runes can take advantage and amplify this.
