### Overview

The Ender Crystals are magical crystalline artifacts capable of channeling and drawing in mana energy as well as empower their users. They were once discovered by the Abyss Walker during his battle against the Ender Dragon, the original creator, with all but one destroyed and taken back with the Abyss Walker for his studies. When shared with the Ender Lords, they were fascinated by it, which led to the crafting of more Ender Crystals and the empowerment of the End and their magical arts.

While it's not common to see an Ender Crystal being used by individuals, one can sometimes find a "Crystal User" (see below) occasionally. Regular crystals are also the most common types of Ender Crystals that are always used by Crystal Users. However, Kiera Umbra, the ancestral daughter of the Abyss Walker, is the only Crystal User ever observed to use a Crystal of Unity instead of a regular crystal.

Ender Crystals can be crafted with 4 Glass blocks in a cross-shape formation, 4 Enderite blocks in a plus-shape formation, and then a single Eye of Ender in the middle. When initially crafted, the crystal is deprived of energy but will begin to passively draw in mana energy from the atmosphere for as long as it exists until it absorbs enough mana energy to be able to be used as a part of a users' magical arsenal.

### Appearance

The Ender Crystals will vary in appearances depending on their type but they commonly appear as crystalline cube-shaped objects encompassed within twin glass-like wireframe cubes. The crystal's core appears to be composed of enchanted enderite with runic symbols inscribed on all of its six sides and appears to rotate in circular, yet random directions. The colors and aura that the crystals will give off will help identify what type of crystal it is.

### History

The Ender Crystals, ancient enderite artifacts, were the original creation of the Ender Dragon. During the battle with the hostile beast, the Abyss Walker noted that the crystals were supplying it with an endless amount of strength as well as healing any damage it suffered from. The only way to defeat the dragon was to destroy the crystals themselves. Upon doing so, they would be able to defeat the antagonizing monster and restore order.

In the end, the dragon was defeated, its curse lifted, and the Abyss Walker emerged victorious. About to leave the central island, he realized that all but one of the crystals remained undamaged during the battle. He then decided to take the crystal back to his home and began his study. He learned that these legendary artifacts were capable of channeling magical power to empower anyone who possessed one. With this miraculous discovery, he shared his findings with the Ender Lords and then the mass-crafting of the crystals began. In time, these crystals were now used in the art of end magic.

With the Abyss Walker's passing, the Ender Lords crafted the seven Crystals of Unity to honor his name for all the things he has given for his civilization. These powerful crystals symbolized peace, prosperity, and unity for all of the End and were treasured at heart within their throne rooms by the seven Ender Lords. The creation of these crystals caused the catalyst of unifying the seven nations and bringing all of the End together under one alliance; the Ender Unity.

Abaddon, the Lord of the Obsidian Kingdom, spent more than half of his lifetime studying the potency of the Unity Crystals. He learned that uniting them all would give birth to new greater powers, turning the End into an unstoppable empire. He revealed this theory to the Ender Lords but was immediately rejected as invasion was against the Ender Philosophy. Enraged by the Ender Lords' mockery, Abaddon took matters into his own hands and began his invasion against the other nations.

With only one Unity Crystal remaining, Mira, the Lord of Endgard, went to the Umbra Coven, descendants of the Abyss Walker, and asked them to safeguard the last crystal. The coven then took the crystal under their care and held it close to their hearts, hoping that Abaddon would be stopped before he could obtain the last crystal... but however, that hope wasn't genuine. Abaddon eventually found the coven in possession of the last crystal and led the invasion against them.

Kiera Umbra, ancestral daughter of the Abyss Walker, had the last Unity Crystal binded to her soul, knowing that the coven couldn't quell the invasion against their home, and was then sent to the Overworld via a portal spell. Enraged by this sudden turn of events, Abaddon had the Umbra Coven, except Nero, locked away within the dungeons of the Obsidian Kingdom. Meanwhile, Kiera Umbra became the caretaker of the last Crystal of Unity and would make any attempt possible to stay away from Abaddon's army.

#### Ender Crystals in other Realms

While it's unknown how information about the Ender Crystals reached the other realms, it's theorized that an unknown group from the Overworld ventured into the End and discovered the Ender Crystals as the Abyss Walker fought the Ender Dragon. Identifying the crystals themselves and their crafting recipe, this mysterious group gathered the crafting ingredients needed to craft Ender Crystals and wrote documentaries based on them. From there, they made numerous copies and had them published to certain libraries, including enchanting shrines. Despite completing this task, very few people knew about the Ender Crystals and eventually this information became lost to time.

However, this information could still be found in certain locations, such as abandoned enchanting shrines or libraries. Three individuals, Fannar Winter, Gabriel Aurora, and Arch Nigellus, discovered the Ender Crystals and were prompted to creating their own while having their magic imbued with itself. A binding spell was even casted so they can manipulate the crystal telekinetically and so it would follow them wherever they went.

### Crystal Users

"Crystal User" is the term used to identify an individual who uses an Ender Crystal as a part of their magical arsenal. As such, they are more powerful than regular individuals as the crystal enhances their magic when binded to their souls and draws in mana from the atmosphere itself then balances it between the crystal itself and its user. Fighting against a Crystal user will be a challenge but they're not invincible and, if the opponent is smart enough, they'll be able to fight on equal terms with a Crystal User.

While most Crystal Users use regular crystals in their arsenal, there can be some instances where some users may have unique forms of Ender Crystals. An example of this is Kiera, who uses a Crystal of Unity, a type of crystal of which only seven of them exists and, therefore, is the rarest type of crystal used by a Crystal User.

### Types of Ender Crystals

The Ender Crystal, when originally found, had no defined classification. Now discovered by the Ender Lords and mass-crafted, the Ender Crystals now have varying traits, magic, and appearances, depending on their type.

#### Regular

Regular Ender Crystals can be identified by their violet crystalline core and their pinkish red runes. They are the most basic and common type of Ender Crystal found among the End Civilization and can be enchanted with magic to grant it special abilities. They can serve as stationary support or mobile personal constructs.

When used by individuals, sometimes a binding-spell is used to connect the crystal itself to the soul of the individual, allowing them to manipulate the crystal telekinetically with their mind and preventing the user from losing the crystal itself. However, having this binding-spell is also a major downside as, if one of them is destroyed, the other will be destroyed as well. Enchanted with durability, it allows the users' ender crystal to survive even the most destructive attacks but the user will still suffer from the crystal's damage.

When the dragon was alive, the crystals were used as support constructs which would fire a beam of magic towards the creature, giving the dragon its strength and healing any damage it suffered from. The crystals, at that time, were the most fragile to the point where they can be destroyed by even the lightest attacks. There could also be Crystal Users who could use Crystal Guardians as their pets to fight for them while using their mana-siphoning abilities.

#### Crystal Guardian

When the Ender Unity was forged, the Ender Lords and their sorcerers concocted a plan of creating magical constructs which would serve as guardians, which led to the creation of the Crystal Guardians. They can be identified by small debris floating and surrounding the crystal itself and the color of their cores and aura depend on the threat level of the guardian itself.

Crystal Guardians are enchanted with their own sentience, which allows them to learn and compensate their opponents' attacks, and also enchanted with durability, allowing them to withstand a multitude of attacks. They are also enchanted with other magical abilities, allowing them to serve their purpose as guardians.

Below are two types of Crystal Guardians with their special abilities.

Below is a list of their abilities.
* **[End Flames]**:
    **Purple Crystal Guardian** | Identified by their purple crystalline core and aura. They are more stronger than blue Crystal Guardians and are more durable than them, able to tank the equivalent of four explosions. They often serve as defenses for more protected areas or elite patrol sentries.

Below is a list of their abilities.

#### Crystals of Unity

Main Article: Crystals of Unity

The Crystals of Unity are the most powerful ender crystals in the End, symbolizing peace, prosperity, and unity for all of the End. They can be identified by a mixture of bluish-silver and light purple colors on their core and unique aura. Only seven of them had been crafted and, while they appear small, they harbor an immeasurable amount of magical power, its destructive potency comparable to that of several explosions or possibly more greater than that.

While their enchanted abilities are unknown, they appear to be capable of various mana-manipulating abilities as well as telekinesis and regeneration. When all seven of them are unified, they can grant their user an incomprehensible amount of power, making them nearly unstoppable. Destroying a Unity Crystal is completely impossible as they appear to have durability comparable to that of bedrock, though it's possible to destroy one by killing a person with their soul binded to one.
