Flawed Arkanite

Scattered across the continents of Yesh and Clae are small shards of colourful, jagged crystal. Due to their somewhat broken appearance and abundance, they are largely dismissed as a fools-gold equivalent of gemstones, or given as small trinkets between new couples. Arcanists on Yesh and Druids on Clae have both put study into the curious crystals, however both parties did not find anything worthwhile enough to note, and as such they have remained a curiosity, their origins unknown, but without enough significance to merit further exploration.

Some larger Flawed arkanite crystals have been noted to hold low amounts of magical charge, leading hopeful arcanists to name the crystals arkanite, though years of experimentation in turning the crystals into storage vessels for arcana (magical power) led to the eventual conclusion that they were unsuitable, holding too little arcana at a time. The arcanists did note that a charged crystal while held by a spellcaster seemed to enhance or alter a casters spell. After doing so, the crystal is drained of its charge, and loses the ability to store arcana permanently, becoming a useless trinket.

Flawed Arkanite crystals are found in the following colours: Green, Red, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Pink, Purple and Black. The different colours of the crystals seem to correspond to the type of arcana the shards of crystal can store, and the effect on the spell cast using the shard of crystal, though no comprehensive list of colours and their corresponding effects currently exists.
