Apophylyte Crystals

Apophylyte Crystals are unusual minerals that have been recovered from the crystalline vesicles in the Snowstone mountains. Once their magical properties are identified then the crystals are generally referred to as various magical stones.

There were many different varieties and repetitions that it will probably take a couple of generations to identify them all.

* Alaran Stone
* Clarity Stone
* Empathy Stone
* Library Stone
* Memory Stone
* Message Stones
* Pocket Stones
* Recall Stone
* Waystones

The Library Stones are unusual minerals that have been recovered from the crystalline vesicles in the Snowstone mountain. Just over a score were recovered, so far.

> *Hold it in your hand, read a book. Later, pick up the stone, recall the book, and you could read every word as if it were still in front of you. Pass it to a friend and they, too, can recall the book and the pages.*

Minalan gave a few Library Stones to Pentandra to use in teaching Alurra, during Court Wizard. One of those library stones was used as the bases of the Prophecy Stone by Antimei.

Some of the stones found in the mountain hold real promise of aiding mental (Blue) magic.

> *One of the stones simply allowed perfect recall of any memory – and when I mean perfect, I mean down to the smell of her hair and the taste of her sweat on your tongue.  It was a heady experience surveying my life with perfect clarity of recall, heady and fraught with peril.*

In Enchanter, Gareth suggests to Minalan to use the Memory stone to discover the true identity of Lady Mask, from just the memory of what her eyes looked like.

The Message Stones, are unusual minerals that have been recovered from the crystalline vesicles in the Snowstone mountain. More than three hundred of these stones have discovered so far.

> *"hold the stone, find affinity to it, compose yourself, and relay a mental message. Give the stone to someone else and when they do the same, they can experience the message just as clearly as if they were in your presence."*

The Pocket Stones, are unusual minerals that have been recovered from the crystalline vesicles in the Snowstone mountain. So far, only three have been recovered.

The pocket stone allows the enchanter to create an extra dimensional space anchored to an object.

> *"I think it establishes a smaller, separate dimension,” Onranion theorized. “When I examined it in the ranahrar scale, I noticed that when empowered it had the capacity for inflating saras between the felsarai.”*
>
>

> *“Think of reality as resting on a framework,” he said, after a moment’s pause. “Like the framework of a house. This stone allows one who knows its operation to inflate the framework, insert a little extra room between the beams, so to speak.”*

In High Mage, Minalan's tower was robbed and one of the pocket stones was stolen by the Enshadowed. As a result Korbal has been able to create dimensional pockets to facility attacks at certain times and places.

Many useful enchantments have been created using a pocket stone. In Journeymage Taren created the supplies rods which allowed Gareth to send them their cooked meals each morning and night, eliminating the need to haul supplies along with them on the Great March.

Many staffs and other objects have been enchanted by the High Magi with extra-dimensional pockets to hold weapons, supplies and anything else that they may want to have with them at any time.

See Taren's article for more information on just some of the enchantments created with the use of a pocket stone.

Many Waystones have been found in the Snowstone mountains of Sevendor.

The Stone acts as a portable alka alon waypoint and lowers the magical resistance in the area to near nothing.  Each one has their own unique signature which is used by the songspells to travel via the Alka Alon ways.

Soon after they were discovered, some were gifted to the Council of the Alka Alon as a bribe for more Ironite.

> *“A small gift, from the Magelord of Sevendor,” I said as I passed them out. “Five Waystones. Each set within a flower of silver. These are Apophylyte crystals hidden within my mountain and enchanted in the same fashion as the snowstone. They are jewels of especial power, as they reduce the magical resistance in their vicinity to nothing. But more importantly, Master Guri assures me that each of them is essentially a portable waypoint,” I explained as they opened their presents. “Allowing the Songspell of transport to work . . . anywhere. That is a wonder I have never read of in all of the Alka Alon epics. And these are but a few of the many unique gems Master Guri has discovered within my holding.”*

The Waystones become very important to the magi in the series as it eases travel and moving supplies when and where needed.
