## History

### Demons

In the First Battle of Divine Will, most demons did not have Magic Stones. Instead, they relied on their immense bodies and impenetrable armor and attacked human cities with metal spears. Their use of Magic Stones were much more common during the Second Battle of Divine Will. This was later explained that in the first Battle only Inferior Demons were sent to war, while the ones with Magic Stones stayed behind.

They produced their Magic Stones through Chaos Beasts, a type of Demon, who could transform God's Stones of Retaliation into a variety of Magic Stones after swallowing them. Later, the Demons are shown to evolve through a ceremony in which they would insert a **Magic Stone** recently produced by a Chaos Beast and insert the stone into its chest after ripping it open. After a few minutes and a lot of suffering later, the demons would become stronger, but having a chance to lose its ability to think rationally.

### Humans

As only Demons were capable of creating Magic Stones at the age of the Witch Federation, the Magic Stones the witches used all came from Demons.

#### **The Witch Federation's Investigations**

The Bliss Army of the Witch Federation once captured a Chaos Beast on a remote Devil's Town and brought it back to Taquila, afterwards making it work for the Holy City. As Chaos Beasts were extremely unintelligent, it automatically transformed the God's Stones it was fed. However, the witches couldn't figure out how to make it produce more powerful magic stones, and as they also didn't know how to raise it, it turned yellow and wilted like an uprooted plant six months after it was first captured.

Later investigations made by the Quest Society on other Devil's Towns led to the conclusion that Chaos Beasts were the only way of obtaining Magic Stones and it would take a longer time to produce more powerful stones.

## Utilization by Witches

Witches can activate a Magic Stone by channeling their magic power into it. As this process requires magic power, in the human race only witches can activate them.

Some witches can refill others' magic power or directly exchange the magic power collected from two people. This way, a witch can channel much more power than the amount she has in her own body and cause a Magic Stone to act continuously. However, this method usually only works on the Stones of Mist with the simplest form of magic power, such as Stones of Light or Echo Stones, which aren't much help in battle. Later on, due to Isabella's evolution, Magic Stones start to be produced by her out of God's Stones of Retaliation by selectively reducing specific magic frequencies.

## List of Known Magic Stones
