Origins
Created by the legendary Crystalline Artificers during the height of their civilization, the Crystal was originally housed in the spire of the Prismatic Citadel. Its creation required the fusion of starlight essence with perfectly pure metamorphic quartz during a rare celestial alignment known as the Convergence of Nine Moons.
Properties
The Crystal possesses several unique magical properties:
-
Ability to store and amplify magical energies indefinitely
-
Power to create dimensional mirrors between distant locations
-
Capacity to split single spells into multiple identical effects
Historical Significance

During the Crystal Wars, the artifact served as both a defensive shield and a powerful weapon. Its most famous use came during the Battle of Shattered Reflections, where it was used to create a maze of mirror-portals that trapped an entire invading army.
Current Status
The Crystal now resides within the heavily-guarded vaults of the Silverglass Academy, where it is studied by advanced practitioners of Mirror Magic. Access to the artifact is strictly controlled by the Council of Reflective Arts, though some claim that what is displayed is merely a reflection of the true Crystal, which exists simultaneously in multiple dimensions.
