Moonwell Crystal
Overview
Moonwell Crystal is an incredible rare resource, with what little has been found seemingly originating in the Isles of Ilhon. It is a valued material due to its capacity in storing magical enchantments, and inherent imbuement that makes an item its placed into more potent under the cover of darkness.
Appearance
Moonwells, as an individual crystal is often called, are translucent gems with an indigo hue to them. Almost all Moonwell Crystals have come in individual gems no larger than one inch in length. The crystals have a faint glow when exposed to moonlight whether they are enchanted or not.
Origin
This crystal always has been discovered loose, washed up on a shore or in someone else's treasure stash. The rare occasions where a gem has been been found natural, they have been in tiny budding formations. No one knows precisely where the true source of the material is but through study of the material over many years, the crystals seem to get less common the further away from Puerzocola one goes. This is a fundamental reason why many theorise that the Artefact, Tear of the Moon, is hidden somewhere upon that island.
Uses
In a few case it has been unwittingly used in ornamental jewellery by individuals who did not know its true potential. However, the limited amount of moonwell crystal that has been found has almost exclusive been put to use into magical items, as the crystal appears to enhance any magical items abilities at night. The crystal itself is also a potent receptacle of magical spells and can be imbued as such. This, in conjunction, with its natural moonlight affinity is what makes it truly sought after research for magical item enchanters. These two properties are also what lends the crystal its name.
