The Crystalist

It is a hollowed-out crystal egg of sorts with jagged walls, grown as one piece around a single stone that was later removed. If one were to step inside of its opalescent walls, they'd be subjected to its healing properties, and cured of most toxins or illnesses within their body. It was created and is guarded by a handful of sages and acolytes, and kept a tight secret, as per the orders of its main inventor, Ah Dajankhit.

Creation and Construction

The circumstances of the Crystalist's creation are so specific that only one has been successfully operated. The opalescent structure was grown through magical means to a comparably enormous size for naturally-occurring crystals after years of failed attempts by the Master Dajankhit. As such, it has never been successfully replicated, and its keepers guard it closely to keep it safe from thieves, vandals, and overuse. The material is a pure, iridescent crystal of unknown name and origin. It has a rocky texture that distorts and amplifies light to those who step inside of the chamber.

Use

When one steps into the chamber, they are often overwhelmed with the brightness of the stone. The procedure changes based on the ailment, however for most toxins, the affected person must stand or sit still inside. The acolytes pour clear water into the bottom, varying in amount with the general rule being that the stronger the toxin, the more water is needed. When activated, the energy flow within the crystal shifts, and the toxins are literally pulled through the affected body down to the water, like iron to a magnet. This process can take an hour or multiple days, depending on the strength and type of poison. For other ailments, such an infection, a specially prepared salve is applied directly to the skin. This does not necessarily replace the clear water procedure, as some water is still often poured in just in case. When activated, the crystal is able to draw infections to the surface and into the salves, which can then be washed off for an easier heal. A sickness is treated with the Crystalist's water being ingested by the affected person. It is purged at the next time that the body expels the water, however it may do so. This process might need to be repeated multiple times before a serious illness is cured, and the affected person may have fasted or dehydrated themself otherwise throughout that time.
