Iluminite Quartz,

Iluminite Quartz, a captivating gemstone that forms when a layline or nexus pool intersects with quartz deposits. Attracted to the magical radiation, the quartz absorbs it and responds by emitting a brilliant, heatless light comparable to that of a torch. The emitted light retains the natural color of the quartz, creating a dazzling display.   What sets Iluminite Quartz apart is its remarkable longevity. It possesses a magical half-life of several centuries, meaning it can maintain its glowing properties for an extended period. Furthermore, the gemstone's luminosity can be recharged or altered to be temporarily inactive, allowing for control and preservation of its glowing abilities.   Among cultures that are not overly superstitious or fearful of magic, Iluminite Quartz has found its way into the homes and possessions of those with moderate wealth. It serves as a practical and enchanting light source, emitting a heatless and smokeless glow that adds both beauty and functionality to any space. Many appreciate its artistic qualities, as the gemstone's radiance can be a stunning addition to interior decor.   Moreover, adventurers and travelers value Iluminite Quartz as a reliable and convenient light source. Its small and portable nature makes it a popular tool to have on hand during journeys, providing a handy source of illumination without the need for fire or fuel.   Market Cost: 100 GP Base for a cut peice.   Magical Notes: A continual Light spell cast on the Quartz and a little magical crafting, DC 10 Spellcraft allows for one to completely recharge Iluminite Quartz. To allow Illuminite to deactivate upon a specific vocal command one requires a DC 15 Spellcraft check and the Darkness spell. A telepathy spell if used increases the DC by 5 and allows the stone to activiate or deactivate upon a mental command. A Mage Hand spell if used allows the stone to be activated or deactivated by touch.
