Varia Beads ([Vah-ree-uh] Beads)
Varia Beads are magical items that convert stray magic into beads that give a boost of power to the user upon being broken or consumed (though it's not ideal and in most cases dangerous to eat them)
Mechanics & Inner Workings
When broken or consumed in a way that enters the body, imbues the user with the magical energy of the bead. If broken, the power is temporary and depending on the variation may last for an indefinite duration of time or for a single use.
If consumed, gives the user the ability of the Varia Bead for as long as it remains within them, though this could potentially and most likely cause strain on the body.
Varia Beads can also be more safely utilized when attached to something, such as a staff, gun, or any other contraption that are made to use them, though this isn't well known since those creating the beads rarely use them and anyone else usually wouldn't think to do so.
Manufacturing process
It is unknown how they are created and the techniques used are kept well hidden by the Scholars of [Name Pending]
History
Varia beads throughout history have been used for a multitude of purposes, from simple uses of lighting a fire, to battles, to even altering terrain for building and/or creating lakes.
Besides the dragons, who could control the magic and create the Varia Beads with ease, they passed down techniques to create them to a group known as the Scholars of [Pending title], that would maintain these techniques long after the dragons were gone. The Scholars are still creating Varia Beads to this day, but with how little magic is around and how much fewer of the scholars are willing to make them, the beads are becoming increasing more rare and sought after.
Significance
Varia Beads nowadays are for the most part physical embodiments of the remaining magic in Cormedia and most continents away from where the Dragons are keeping it. Because of this as well as the many different properties of them, they are in high demand from just about anywhere. Their rarity make them exceptionally valuable and as such can get very expensive for just a single bead.
