Crystal Technician Recipes

Recipes for **this ability** rely on a few things.

1. Creating a frame.
2. Creating a Main Crystal that fits that frame.
3. Creating Energy Crystals that power the thing.

Let's go through them one at a time.

Frames are often made of metal and crystals.

Here are some example frames:

* Metal A + Dark Blue Crystal + Activating Crystal = Watergun Frame
* Metal C + Brown Crystal + Activating Crystal = Armor Frame
* Alloy A + White Crystal + Activating Crystal = Flashlight Frame
* Alloy G + Dark Blue Crystal + Activating Crystal = Humidifier Frame

As you can see, two crystals are often used because that produces more of an effect. Activating crystals are the most common because of what they do to create an effect. Without an activating crystal the effect is usually smaller.

Here are some Main Crystals:

* Green Crystal = Green Crystal (Heal) A very slight healing effect added to frame crystals effect.
* White Crystal = White Crystal (Purify) Slight purifying effect added to frame crystals effect.
* Nullifying Crystal = Nullifying Crystal (Repel) Pushes certain things away. Determined by frame crystals.
* Reversing Crystal = Reversing Crystal (Invert) Usually Changes frame crystal powers.
* Activating Crystal = Activating Crystal (Enhance) Makes frame crystals more powerful.

* Clear Crystal = Clear Crystal (Nothing) Clear crystal seems a little different from the others in that it doesn't seem to have a power when one is drawn out. It still channels enhancement crystals and burns out very slowly. When used, it is like just using the frame crystals without the main power granted by a main crystal.

Enhancement crystals have a small effect on the construction being made. Unlike main crystals who act as a main conduit though which the device works, these are like small additions that change the device in different ways.

* Light Blue Crystal = Slightly decrease weight
* Brown Crystal = Earth Element
* Black Crystal = Dark Element
* Dark Red Crystal = Fire Element
* Yellow Crystal = Electric Element
* Dark Blue Crystal = Water Element
* Dark Green Crystal = Wind Element

Power crystals all seem similar, but some say there are small differences. It is possible the right crystals turned into power crystals might work better for certain constructions, but it is uncertain how much they affect it. Usually, a random assortment is used.

Now let's put some together to see what happens:

* Watergun Frame+ Purifying Main Crystal = Cleaning Water Gun
* Watergun Frame + Enhancing Main Crystal = Crystal Power Washer

* Armor Frame + Enhancing Main Crystal = Crystal Powered Armor
* Armor Frame + Healing Main Crystal = Healing Crystal Armor

* Flashlight Frame + Purifying Main Crystal = Crystal Powered Flashlight (Pure)
* Flashlight Frame + Enhancing Main Crystal = Crystal Powered Flashlight (Bright)

* Humidifier Frame + Purifying Main Crystal = Pure Air Crystal Humidifier
* Humidifier Frame + Inverting Main Crystal = Crystal Dehumidifier

As you can see, white crystals are often used as a base because of the Pure aspect.  Using an Activating crystal is like turning the power up a notch, and using a reversing crystal as the main crystal changes the effect.
