Magicite
Rare gemstone that can store magic easily
Introduction
"Hey, take one of these gems, strap it to your weapons aaaaand BOOM! Flame sword!"
A rare gemstone that is found in abundance inside The Veins, Magicite has magical properties that highlights it from the others of its kind. It can absorb aether more easily, and for that it is often used in Spellforging for a variety of utilities.

But it is easy to distinguish magicite from other gems as it has the unique trait of changing its color when absorbing aether. It may become red when charged with Fire magic, black with Dark, blue with Water, etc.

There are a few deposits of magicite throughout the world, but the largest one are The Veins of the Bashmu Mountain Range, in Archana.Life & Expiration
