Balsam, also known as erdyll balsam is a substance similar in nature to petroleum. It is a naturally occurring oily blackish violet liquid, usually found together with petroleum in geological formations. A type of fossil fuel, it forms as the bodies of dead erdylls become concentrated under a large amount of pressure and heat. This causes the dessian elements that compose them to mix and form esogen solanate (Ⰳ(ⰔⰡ)2), along with other less significant byproducts.
Balsam has been historically extracted from the bodies of erdotes or, less commonly, erdyll-rich areas of cytotic bodies, such as the brain or digestive system. Nowadays, though, it is much more common to extract it by oil drilling. Once extracted, it is separated from petroleum by centrifuge and used as an efficient but relatively short-lasting fuel.
