The following is a list of places where crystals can be used:

* Mystical Summoning
* Complete refills on Energy, and Arena Invitations
	+ Refills will increase current Energy and Arena Invitation levels by the maximum capacity (e.g. Max capacity of 80 energy will lead to a refill of 80 energy on top of whatever energy is still there).
