Chromatic Glass

== Chapter One: Invention ==
Chromatic Glass is an impure glass with a blue-purple hue. When active, an aura is emitted from the glass that looks like flames burning in matching colors. Chromatic Glass was invented in 1965 and is used in prisons across the world to imprison magic users, a much more humane alternative to previous methods.
== Chapter Two: Creation and Use ==
Chromatic Glass is made by making glass with sand but disregarding the filtering process that typically removes any impurities. During the melting process, ground up Attunement Crystals are added to the mixture. The glass is poured out in thick slabs and broken apart for use. The larger the chunk, the more powerful its potential in use.
Chromatic Glass' primary function is its ability to diffuse magic. A mage skilled in Conjuration is able to bind another to a piece of Chromatic Glass with a spell. After the target has been bound, their magic is forced to flow through the Chromatic Glass before it manifests in the world. However due to the impurities of the glass, their magic will never manifest, instead it is refracted and diffused, nullifying the spell completely. The stronger the target, the larger the chunk of Chromatic Glass needs to be, and the stronger the Conjurer binding the target must be as well. Some prisons outsource the need for a powerful Conjurer by purchasing spell scrolls with the binding spell attached, or through the use of focuses with trap magic pre-cast on them.
The Conjurer is able to break the binding if needed. The Chromatic Glass is only effective within a few yards around it, depending on its size and the strength of the caster, however if the target escapes and moves more than a mile from the Chromatic Glass for more than four hours, the binding will break completely. If the target manages to get over a mile from the glass, but is brought back within it's effective range in under four hours, the spell does not need to be recast, it will simply begin taking effect again.
