Crystallized northern light. Its Lightspeed Edge trait shaves real time off every swing.
A featherweight lattice that accelerates every swing.
How the waterline works. The game counts Lightite's share of the total crucible: under 10% the trait is INACTIVE; 10–30% it scales linearly (SCALING); 30–35% is OPTIMAL (full 10%); past 35% it is OVERCAP — the trait stays maxed but the extra ores are wasted multiplier.
Exact top-up formula. Adding Δ ores also grows the total N, so the real formula is Δ₁₀ = ceil((N − 10n) / 9) for the 10% line and Δ₃₀ = ceil((3N − 10n) / 7) for the 30% sweet spot — never the naive "fill to 30%".
Worked example. Say your 50-ore crucible already holds 8 Lightite (16%, SCALING at 7.2%). To max out you need +10 more — landing at 18/60 = exactly 30%. And a tiny 30-ore forge holding 2 Lightite needs +2 to wake the trait (4/32 = 12.5%).

Lightite carries a 4x crucible multiplier — B tier, epic rarity — sourced from Frostspire Expanse. A crucible loaded entirely with Lightite forges at exactly 4x.
Lightspeed Edge caps at 30% of the crucible load: ceil(0.3 × N) ores — 15 Lightite in a 50-ore forge. At 10% it activates at 6%, reaching the full 10% at 30%.
Storm Crystal (Frostspire Expanse) at 21.1%; Magma Vein (Frostspire Expanse) at 13.0%.
Lightite is a solid mid-game ore — respectable 4x multiplier plus the Lightspeed Edge trait for weapons.
