Scryer Crystal

A Scrying Crystal, known as a Scryer Crystal, is an arcane device that was created long ago by the mages of the Obsidian Tower as a way to communicate over long distances.

As the magic users of the Tower and later the School of Drindell perfected the making of the crystals, they also found that the crystals could be bound to a person or persons, acting as a locator and communication device.

In the later years, some crystals are rumored to hold more abilities, but are very rare to come across any that don’t serve as just a way to communicate.

''This hand-sized crystal has a smoky, amber inner appearance. It is hard and smooth, with multi-faceted sides.''

When activated, a Scryer Crystal can link to another crystal or person who the crystal is bonded to, forming an extra-dimensional link between the target. By holding the crystal in one’s hand and speaking the activation command, a user may speak to the target of the crystal as if they were present, with the user. A small, spirit-like image of the target of the crystal also materializes above the crystal in the user’s hand.

Also, when activated, the crystal may be used to track a bonded target over great distances. When the crystal is held and pointed in the direction of a target, it will softly glow. The glow becomes more intense the closer one is to the subject.

Each crystal holds 10 charges per day and recovers spent charges each morning.
