Crystal of Entwined Hearts

A pair of these magical crystals, created by a skilled druid, hold a truly extraordinary power. When worn by two individuals, they form a mystical bond between them. If one of the wearers endures harm, the crystals work in unison to distribute the effects, halving the harm's severity for both. This enchantment serves as a unique form of protection and an almost unbreakable connection between the crystal bearers. Druids often rely on this sort of connection with their animal companions, especially when they are working with very small and weak companions like birds or squirrels, or rather powerful ones like wolves or bears. These crystals even provide the wearer with a clue about the direction their bonded partner is in.

Construction

These magical crystals are a rare find. They are usually discovered deep in the heart of ancient forests or hidden away in secluded groves where the natural magic flows strong. To enchant these crystals, the druid needs more than just the stones themselves. They require a deep connection to the earth, a profound understanding of the natural world, and a touch of mystical energy to infuse them with their protective power. The crystals themselves are a sight to behold. Gleaming with an otherworldly blue luminescence, they possess a translucent quality that seems to capture the very essence of a moonlit night. The same crystals are utilized for ley line gateways, albeit magnified by a factor of a thousand.

The enchantment process itself is a delicate and intricate affair. The druid begins by communicating with the spirits of nature, seeking their guidance and blessing for the task at hand. With focused intent and whispered incantations, they channel the energy of the earth and the essence of the wild into the crystals, weaving a bond between them that transcends time and space. As the enchantment takes hold, the crystals begin to glow with a soft, ethereal light, signalling their newfound connection to each other and the world around them, and they also change their colour from a blue tone to a soft green one. Each crystal is then attached to a supple leather necklace, adorned with intricate engravings, and clasped with a simple silver fastening wrapped in leather.

These enchanted crystals have no price in money; a druid very rarely enchants them for someone else, and the crystals are bound to their wearers during the enchantment, so they cannot be used by someone else when stolen or found.
