Blitz Rod

The Blitz Rod is an item added by Thermal Foundation.

Obtaining & Usage
The Blitz Rod is obtained by killing blitzes, and each blitz will drop 0-1 blitz rod. Alternatively, they can be made by putting 5 Blitz Powder in a Compacter, though there is no practical reason, as the Blitz Rod can only be converted into up to 4 Blitz Powder. When placed into a crafting grid, it yields 2 Blitz Powder, and when placed into a Pulverizer, it yields 4 blitz powder with a 50% chance to give 1 Niter as a byproduct. The main use for blitz powder is for making Aerotheum Dust, which can be used to make certain Augments, upgrade a Fluxsaw from reinforced to signalum, or can be melted in a Magma Crucible to make Zephyrean Aerotheum, a fluid that is lighter than air (flows upward instead of downward) and gives the levitation effect when the player swims in it. It can also be used to fill viaducts in a Fluid Transposer.
