====== The Living Crystals ======

These were the crystals that [[Rhae]] and [[Shardanna]] used to defeat the [[Shadowlord]] in the year I:2713.

//(need some more history here)//

==== Flame ====

This long, translucent crystal has at all times a small, dancing
flame in its interior.  If examined closely, the flame almost seems
to be a dancing woman, thus the name.  This internal flame creates
enough light to illuminate the crystal's immediate hex (as a small
torch), yet never diminishes.

The crystal's real power, though, is its ability to manipulate or
create flames at a range.	Fires of a non-magical nature may be
created or extinguished with little effort.  Magical fires, however,
may only be created briefly, or suppressed temporarily.  Creating fires,
though, taxes the crystal's reserves and can not be done indefinitely.
To restore this power, fires must be absorbed.  Thus, at times, the
crystal will diminish fires in its proximity just to maintain its
reserves.	Water is anathema to the crystal.  Completely submerging
the crystal could deplete it of its entire reserve.

The wielder may also merge with the crystal and become living flame.
This is done by concentrating on the interior flame and causing it
to come out slowly.  The wielder then becomes a solid flame in the
same dimensions as his/her original body.	All possessions are left
intact, though any person or object coming in contact with the flame
will be burned as would be expected.

==== Liquid ====

This long, translucent crystal has at all times a blue, swirling
liquid in its interior.

The crystal's power is its ability to manipulate or create water at
a range.  Water of a non-magical nature may be created or absorbed
with little effort.  Magical water, however, may only be created
briefly, or suppressed temporarily.  Creating water, though, taxes
the crystal's reserves and can not be done indefinitely.  To restore
this power, water must be absorbed.  Thus, at times, the crystal will
dry out people and objects in its proximity just to maintain its
reserves.  Fire is anathema to the crystal.  Completely engulfing
the crystal in flames could deplete it of its entire reserve.

The wielder may also merge with the crystal and become living water.
This is done by concentrating on the interior liquid and causing it
to come out slowly.  The wielder then becomes solid water in the
same dimensions as his/her original body.	All possessions are left
intact, though any person or object coming in contact with the water
will become wet as would be expected.

==== Rock ====

This long, black crystal is deceptively heavy.  Light does not shine
through it at all, yet staring into it gives the illusion of depth.

The crystal's power is its ability to manipulate or create earth
(dirt/rock) at a range.  Rocks and dirt may be moved or altered
with little effort.  Magical stone, however, may only be created
briefly.  Creating earth, though, taxes the crystal's reserves and
can not be done indefinitely.  To restore this power, the crystal
must be in contact with rock (or to a lesser degree loose dirt).
Air is anathema to the crystal.  Completely removing it from its
native element could drain it of its entire reserve.

The wielder may also merge with the crystal and become living rock.
This is done by concentrating on the interior darkness and causing the
earth to come out slowly.  The wielder then becomes moveable stone in
the same dimensions as his/her original body.  All possessions are
converted in a similar fashion.
