Crystals

Lore in proggres (all these are disperse notes about Crystals powers , remembering that Crystals it´s a group of magical crystals that were created from Lobanega´s magic due to her excess of arcane magic
that generates crystallized magic)

"She" is not a real dragon.She is an accumulation of magical crystals that has acquired the shape of a dragon and moves at will.

It presents all the powers and characteristics of the crystals that form naturally from Lobanega's magic and although somewhat creepy, it is often only found motionless following Lobanega waiting for orders from its mistress and "creator".

Like everything that has to do with Lobanega and her magic, the unexpected always becomes the thing you should wait for.

When once in the warehouse where the crystals emanating from Lobanega's mane were kept in a safe place there was an explosion, the clan never would imaginated that those crystals suddenly take the shape of a crystal dragon and started to move.

But the only thing that creature has as in common with a dragon is it´s appearance. It doesn't breathe, it doesn't eat, it doesn't sleep. It is just walking crystallized magic at least and to the relief of the clan, Lobanega's objectives are the objectives of this being, including using all it resources and energy in protecting the clan.And it allways folow Lobanega´s (or the ones that she give permission) orders.

All those clans, fortunate enough to have been gifted with a crystal that naturally fell from Lobanega's mane, have access to one of the crystals' many powers.
Unfortunately for these clans, while Lobanega is able to use her crystals to their full potential, any other dragon sees its power limited. While any other dragon is capable of in principle using any of its hidden magics, once that crystal already applies a magic, it sees itself anchored to that type of magic.
That is to say, once a dragon that is not its creator uses a communication spell with its crystal, it will only perform communication spells. If it is used to raise shields, it will only perform protection spells. If used offensively (the most unstable and difficult to control) it will only perform offensive magic.

Most common types of magic in which these crystals are useful


Generally the power most used by the clan it´s use them communicators and translators.These crystals have powerful translation magic and if they are activated for this purpose they are capable of translating any language. The recipient of the message will hear the interlocutor in their mind as if they were speaking the same language (especially useful between dragons and members of the beast clans, or even between Coatls and Faes).All crystals that are used with long-distance communication magic (such as magical telephones) resonate with each other, so all clans that had a crystal linked to this type of magic can easily communicate with each other (although it will be explained later if this is the case). glass breaks into pieces, each piece will act as a separate communicator between several clan members, especially useful for espionage missions or simply to maintain contact with a clan mate who is traveling the world far from home)

These crystals can also be used for many other spells, including body control such as levitation or telekinesis. Especially useful for laboratories or even the handling of more than one weapon in combat, it is recommended in these cases to use the crystal in some type ornament such as rings, necklaces or earrings.

The most powerful magicians are able to draw magical energy from these crystals to strengthen their spells or use them as external magic batteries, only recommended for the most expert and advanced magicians in magic since the crystal can easily overload the magician and generate serious damage. health problems in the medium/long term (depending on the time of exposure), one of the most serious repercussions is even overloading the magician so much that the excess of magic can end up destroying the magician's ability to use magic (this effect can be temporary or permanent).

Other quite useful uses are the ability to create practically impenetrable magical shields, both by magic and by physical attacks. Unfortunately, the first use is the one that determines what type of shield is created (as long as it is not Lobanega who uses it). It is That is to say, if the first time you use the crystal you want it to be a physical shield, in subsequent uses it will refuse to apply other types of shields, and if you want to apply the shield for magical defense and physical defense, it will not take long to discover that although the crystal If it does not put up much resistance, the magician who uses the spell will begin to fight to be able to extend that shield to a range large enough to be considered useful. Generally, dragons who use the crystals for this purpose usually either embed this crystal in a shield (small enough to use the spell that protects against magical and physical attacks) or decide to anchor the magic of the crystal in a single type of shield (magical or physical) that is more manageable for them and allows for a wider area of ​​security.

It has already been mentioned above that most experienced magicians are able to use these crystals as batteries or external magic enhancers, however if an inventor is versatile and ingenious enough, these crystals can also be safely implanted as quasi-infinite batteries in objects. technological or different types of machinery, generally and although it is not very well known how crystal often tends to enhance these tools or machines with magic (e.g. a metallurgical furnace will create a small dimensional field in the furnace that will make its capacity much greater than what one would expect, or if it is implanted in a drill, it can become indestructible and drill any type of material, in cases of machinery it can have very diverse effects, from becoming immune to external magic to being able to use different spells of its own. of these crystals) unfortunately, although the effects are very useful, no one is able to determine what effect embedding these crystals in a machine will have since, beyond making infinite batteries, they seem to be the ones who decide which spells to apply to each tool. (This is something that not even Lobanega is able to predict or completely change).

Of course these crystals are also capable of being used as offensive spells, however Lobanega and the magicians of the Enchanted Crystals clan strongly recommend not using them for this purpose. Lobanega struggles daily with his immense magic as she is barely able to control it and if not Be careful, it tends to act explosively. Your crystals also have this unwanted quality, while applying them to any other form of magic (like the ones mentioned above) is relatively safe as long as the magician who handles the crystals knows what he/she is doing and have good magic control, applying offensive magic with these usually has unforeseen and quite lethal results (for both sides in the fight) most of the time. Although theoretically these crystals are capable of performing any type of offensive magic (such as create magical bombs or traps or even mind control) the reality is that they often tend to create magical explosions with catastrophic results for any living creature and the environment, and Lobanega always remembers that even if the first offensive spell works for you the crystal will be linked to offensive magic, so if you use the crystal as a weapon, unfortunately you will no longer be able to use any other type of magic, so you will have a time bomb capable of to explode at any moment.


These crystals, if after reading the entire list you have not realized, often seem to have a certain sensitive capacity and often act in strange ways (like the creation of Crystals itself) and although not even Lobanega herself is able to fully control it, in the warehouse where the clan keeps the crystals, portals often appear to other territories, other worlds and even other times. Although Lobanega has not yet been able to control this part of her magic, the potential is there, many have tried to unravel this type of magic,with no luck for now, but maybe other clans have better luck.

They also have many other uses not yet discovered or used by the clan (since they haven´t needed these spells and they do not usually want to mess with the crystals since the consequences can be terrible) but Crystal, let us remember that it´s a group of this crystallized magic,it´s capable of changing size at will, it´s capable of creating vivid illusory creatures, and is even capable of healing near-fatal wounds (although this last ability usually leaves her with her immense reserves of magic almost depleted, the clan's magicians theorize that since the Lobanega's magic is Arcane and not plague, light or nature. Healing is not entirely her domain, so applying this type of spell depletes the crystals a lot) Therefore, theoretically, the crystals also have this capacity.





Although extraordinarily hard (not even diamond is capable of scratching them) they are easily breakable with a forceful PHYSICAL blow, however, although this causes them to break into several chunks and disperse the remains of the crystal, it is not They are affected in their capacity and continue to act as a whole. The important thing about the crystal is not its size, but its origin. If it has matured in Lobanega's mane and has fallen naturally, it will have all its power even if it breaks into a thousand pieces. In fact, if they break in this way, the crystals anchored in communication and defense magic, it is easier for their owners to set them in gems and/or clothing and they can be carried more easily and they can be used at the same time by different clan members. However, if they are set in tools or machines, all the pieces will have the same effect in magical sayings, for example if they are set in a drill and it acquires the spell that makes it unbreakable with rocks, if this crystal is applied to a plane, it will have the same spell and will not break even if it crashes into a mountain; However, if it is set in a drill and the crystal alone acts as a battery, the rest of the pieces will only act as a battery and will have no additional effects. In the case of crystals that are linked to offensive spells, if one of the pieces becomes unstable, all The pieces will become unstable at the same time and, although smaller, their effects (explosions) will be the same size as if the crystal were intact.


In short, when it comes to physical attacks, they don't really influence them too much.

Regarding magical attacks, things change.

Although in reality external magic does not affect the crystel itself, even if a magician tries to cast an external spell on these crystals in reality they will remain unchanged in their nature,there is a possibility (not small) that external magic destabilizes the crystal and makes it so unstable as if the crystal were linked to attack spells with the same consequences, the difference in these cases is that the crystal tends to generate an immediate magical explosion and then immediately return to its most stable state, that is, if an inexperienced magician tries to handle the crystal and uses more magic than it should, the crystal is exposed to intense external magic (such as a magical or sacred place) or a hostile mage attempts to manipulate the crystal, it will become a magic bomb (which will usually kill the magician who tries to manipulate it and will generate an aura of destruction this time equal to the size of the crystal) and immediately after releasing his magical energy return to a stable state, however the damage will be done. To avoid these fluctuations of magic the Lobanega clan delivers To anyone who gives a crystal a specially designed scarf imbued with Lobanega magic that acts as a protective layer between the crystal and the outside, the clan always recommends keeping the crystals wrapped in these cloths while they are not in use to avoid accidents.

If the crystals are plucked from Lobanega's mane before they finish maturing, they generally remain in their physical form, but their magic usually disperses or is so weak to be usefull, so they are not usually useful beyond decoration.

In the event that someone steals the crystals, it usually has dire consequences since Crystals, being a group of these, sense each and every one of the Lobanega crystals (once mature) and if "she" notice one of the crystals in a clan that does not correspond or in hands that shouln´t hold it, "she" generally makes the crystal unstable from within and causes the crystal to explode.Crystals is not a dragon, and although "she" feels the echoes of her creator's emotions, "she" doesn´t feel compassion or empathy. Lobanega's goals are "her" essence of life and one of the most important things for Lobanega is the safety of its people and uncontrolled crystals are an unacceptable risk for that objective
