Iocane powder is derived from the cast-off teeth of Julunggul, the aboriginal serpent creature. Long ago, two sisters were in charge of naming and caring for the animals of the Earth. One of the sisters let her menstrual blood flow freely into the rivers and oceans. Julunggul, angry at this, ate both the sisters and their families.

The powder is aligned to find iron and attack it, which is why it's deadly to both humans and the Warehouse. Without iron, both blood and goo collapse in on themselves and cause a sort of suffocation.
