Discovery

In the year 310 during the Third Centenary a magical researcher for The Storm Keepers and his apprentice were on a routine trip to check the continuing strength of the when the ground collapsed beneath them and they both fell into a sinkhole.
During their attempts to escape the extensive underground tunnel system they stumbled upon a cave filled with large crystals of lots of different colours, known as the Deepwell Cave. Upon closer inspection they discovered that the crystals had been formed from some of the magically charged storm water seeping through the rocks from above, infusing them with innate magical properties.
They found out that when a magical charge is run through the crystals they allowed the user to see strange things through them. The researcher could see through the skin of his apprentice, albeit in a erratic way.

Manufacturing

The crystal lenses themselves are only a small part of what goes into making a pair of Deepwell Lenses. The have a series of inscribed around the edge of the crystal that regulates and controls the magical energy that infuses them to make them work. Also the arcane forged metal frames are a conduit to draw energy from the wearer to power them.
The process of refinement and creation of the lenses is a closely guarded secret by the . Making them is a long and arduous task that only a few of their number can manage. They require a very high level of skill in inscribing cryptogs.

Uses

The lenses are mainly used by the s to aid in their diagnosis and treatment of sick and injured people. The ability to see direction into the interior of the body has been found to be invaluable. Certain lenses have also displayed the ability to be able to see the magical well and channels that run through a persons body, allowing the treatment of spiritual and magical maladies for the first time.
