The Crystal Rose is a fabulously beautiful flower. It perfectly resembles a normal rose in every way except that it is made of pure crystal. The petals of the rose are colored (usually Crystal Roses are red, blue or green) as is the stem.
The Crystal Rose is actually made of crystal and so is quite brittle and fragile. At the core of the flower is a tiny Vertrillium crystal.
Crystal Roses feed on magical energy. All magical energy (including spells or items) near a crystal rose will be absorbed. This phenomena is only true as long as the crystal rose is intact and "living". (The life status of the crystal rose is an age-old argument among scholars and sages). Once a crystal rose is plucked from the ground, it dies. It is difficult to extract a crystal rose from the ground and it requires a certain amount of skill. If a crystal rose is improperly dug up, it releases its stored magical energy in an explosion of fire that will ignite the forest around it.
