This item has the ability to record and play back music. While it cannot play back a song's words, it's intonations chime with a haunting melody over background music.

History

Singing Crystals have a sordid history. They were originally found in caverns after the magic implosion. The haunting hymns sounded beautiful and strange, calling to people everywhere. It was only after a decade that people began realizing that the crystal's songs were cries for help during a cave collapse.

Most people had a strong adverse reaction to the news. Many people attempted to destroy the crystals, causing the screams to become louder. A group of researchers with the Weaver's Guild collected the crystals. After several years of testing, the team determined that the crystals could have new recordings placed on them.

While a majority of people could not get passed the crystals' origins, the crystals are a point of intrigue on the Claw Continent.

Today, new crystals have been harvested and enchanted with new recordings placed on them. These crystals come with an incantation and instructions for recording your own song in the crystals. They are still unable to hold words but the melody sounds just as haunting as the first batch.
