Crane Stones
The Crane Stones
Children with magical talents can make the Crane Stones glow from the age of seven or so. The Crane Stones are very rare - only 20 or so are known to exist in the world. The Crane Stones are made of a metal that has only been found in the Ancetors' ruined cities. Not much is known about its properties, but it reacts to magical flow and can glow when in contact with 'magic.
Every clan in the land possesses at least one of the Stones. Any clansman can ask to 'try for the Stone'. Many young children are brought yearly to the Clan Seer for that purpose. Children rarely demonstrate any magical abilities, but when they do, they are traditionally sponsored by their own clan, offered mentors and educators, and later on, will generally sit in the assays - a brilliant opportunity for children from modest families.
With proper training and the right manipulations of the runes, these same children will grow up to work the Power Rods or perform healing. Healers are usually encouraged to join the Sanctuary rather than the Arkivon. If magic wielders are part of clanbearing families, they often return to run the clans after training. If not, they usually pursue a career within the Arkivon.
