Rage Crystals

Rage Crystals are a clustered ball of the anger of ones heart, formed through magic to channel rage into power and help to calm the mind of those who use it.  

Gems of Inner Rage

Rage Crystals are pressurized clusters of ones inner emotion. While other feelings can be turned into these crystals, Rage Crystals were the original use for them and were considered a necessity for the very reason that rage is destructive, both towards the self and those around you.   Those who utilize Rage Crystals find that it is the only way to ensure that they do not hurt innocents or anyone they care about. For rage can take control of the heart and mind, removing common sense for revenge or as a form of release.
"I know many who have caused great tragedies because they have lost themselves to rage. I hope these Crystals can prevent that. If they save even one life, that is enough."
However, few are aware of the existence of these crystals, and that they are a possible alternative to letting oneself be consumed by rage. Only those that know of and can utilize the technique are able to pass it on.

Power

Rage Crystals absorb strong emotions from both the user and their target. This can help to calm down those who are enraged or going on a rampage.   This is already a useful power, but this emotional energy can then charge magic within the crystal, which can be used for various things.   In battle, the crystal can be exploded or formed into a laser. These are mostly combatative purposes, but can also be turned into everyday uses. Lasers can power machines or provide light and explosions can be used for demolition.   Rage crystals, then, could be utilized by professionals outside of battle.   Its full capabilities are unknown, as so few people are able to use it, but those who can believe it can serve as an energy source for the world, powering things with emotion alone.

what an interesting idea! It seems there would be a story in this if someone with partial mastery stored some of their rage, but then turned it on others as a weapon. Because, you know... people.
