It has a related substance called Revenite that provides similar protection, but requires an electrical current to glow. Pavel was given a lantern with a piece inside, which should be impossible because ''all'' of the Phantomarine in the world was supposed to have been used to make the Road.


Added DiffLines:

* TitleDrop: "Phantomarine" is the name of the local PowerCrystal, which generates light to repel seaghosts, not needing an electrical current like the related Revenite. Interestingly, Pavel was given a lantern with Phantomarine in it when ''all'' of the substance in the known world ''should'' be in the Lighthouse Road.
