The methkari crystal is a natural essence resonator. It is sensitive to and responds to magical fields by amplifying the energy it collects. Therefore, whenever a methkari crystal comes near to a magical field, it will glow and vibrate, producing a clear tone. The intensity of the tone is directly proportional to the strength of the magical field and the color often aids in identifying the type of magic. (Those who are skilled in the use of this crystal can identify a specific discipline). Very strong magical fields have been known to shatter methkari crystals. When not exposed to magical energy fields, the methkari crystal is clear. The methkari crystal is a useful non-magical way to detect magic. For this reason, the Kalimurans mine and utilize these crystals extensively. Mages often use methkari crystals to help focus their magic, for research and for meditation.
