Fel Crystal, obtained 27 October, 36 L.C.
I: Physical Characteristics.The fel crystal exhibits similar characteristics to other fel crystals in the sense that it sports a rigid, solid surface in combination with a fel green pigmentation. Furthermore, a very dull green essence exudes off of the object which is confirmed to be fel magic both in appearance and origin.
II: Magical Characteristics.The chaotic energy that it exudes is nearly sickening to stand in the presence of, though oddly inviting. After applying proper safety precautions, I meditated upon the crystal's aura and capabilities. It was then that I uncovered the fact that it contains enough fel magic to corrupt anything that it touches to the point that the living essence of the target is mutated. I tested such a theory with a potted plant. Once inside of the crystal sphere of influence, the plant immediately began to twist and contort, glowing patches of fel green magic coursing through the microscopic cells of the plant. I highly advise that anyone that has come into close contact with the crystal seek out a priest, paladin, or anyone capable of dispelling corruption.
III: Analysis.According to the account of Corporal Auromere and Private Talbot, the internal organs and tissue of the murloc chieftain had been mutated and sported a fel green pigmentation. Therefore, it is confirmed that the crystal's natural purpose is to corrupt and mutate anything that it comes into contact with. Upon my retrieval of the aforementioned plant, it attempted to wrap around my hand. Immediately reducing the plant to a pile of ash and thanking the Light that I protected myself against such a volatile element, I have confirmed my theory that anything that succumbs to the corruption will become a pawn of the Legion. Not only that, but it may also be capable of spreading its influence unto others whom lack a superior cognitive functioning. Such as a murloc.
IV: Conclusion.I conclude that the intent of the fel crystal's implantation into the body of the murloc chieftain was to establish an area of control through the murloc rapid re population process. Knowing murlocs to be extremely territorial, any civilians wouldn't dare go close to their area of influence and thus the fel corruption would go unchecked. I highly advised that not only the fel crystal be destroyed immediately, but anyone that has come into contact with the crystal seek out someone capable of dispelling corruption. Furthermore, a second sweep through the murloc territory would prove fruitful in helping to ensure that the corruption did not spread throughout the hatch-lings that were conceived after the implantation of the fel crystal.
