Magic Rock

The Magic Rock, also known as "Carraig" (Gaelic for 'rock'), appears to be a cluster of dark green crystals on a rock made of white crystal. The rock consists of numerous entities living together. They communicate with each other and the world through vibrations and telepathy. Although shy and averse to violence, the rock will return attacks if provoked, and has threatened to cast curses on those that try to kill it.

## ***BACKSTORY***

Eons ago, a man was so hurt by the betrayal and subsequent abandonment of everyone that he held dear that he forsook his human form and turned into a crystal growing on a rock. Since then, the rock has travelled the world, seeking similar lonely and hurting humans, and welcoming them to the group. All those living on the magic rock have suffered at the hands of fellow humans and willingly turned their backs on their old lives. Now, they have full faith in each other, relying only on themselves.

## ***APPEARANCE***

The rock looks like a cluster of dark green dioptase crystals growing on white calcite. There are twenty dioptase cubes total, of which eighteen large and two small. The size of the crystal shows its age and power. Some of the larger crystals have melted together, losing their individuality in favour of unity. The rock is small enough to fit in one's hand. It's roughly twelve centimetres tall, five centimetres wide, and six centimetres thick.

## ***PERSONALITY***

The rock is shy and wary of humans, as they have all been hurt in the past. They shy away from conflict and abhor violence. Physical touch terrifies them, and as such, they attack anyone that tries to touch them without consent. Although it seems impossible, they can grow to trust people, even if it takes a very long time. However, a minor break of trust is seen as a betrayal, leaving the relationship back at square one. The different crystals feed into each other's fear and never forget the past, making it increasingly difficult to get their trust.

## ***ABILITIES***

* To be able to communicate, the rock uses telepathy, which sounds as multiple voices speaking at the same time. The amount of voices ranges between one and twenty.
* If attacked, the rock is able to fully deflect the attack, both magical and physical. Bullets are returned to sender and spells backfire in the worst way.
* As main means of transportation, the rock teleports itself around. It is uncertain how far it can go, but it's at least several hundred metres up to several miles.
* The rock is capable of turning energy into electricity, which it uses to make a shield around itself. Anyone who tries to touch the rock receives an electrical shock, the voltage of which decided by the rock.
* The rock can also turn energy into small, focused explosions as a defensive measure.
* They can also create crystals of various colours, shapes, and sizes, and imbue them with magic as they see fit. The created crystals can heal, cause happiness, and cause other effects. They can also be thrown by the rock as weapons.
* Very rarely, the rock can cast blessings or curses. These powerful enchantments are rare and difficult to create, and thus the rock rarely makes them.

## ***OTHER INFORMATION***

* The rock has said that there are more rocks out there in the world, although they are very rare. According to them, there's less than a dozen of them.
* A common misconception is that the rock is the actual rock. Instead, the green crystals live on the rock, like people in a house.
