Shadowstone
“There is an artifact we uncovered that I believe may even predate the bloodstone. The bloodstone as we know it was likely a culmination of a method they had to store magic. This artifact seems to basically be a small bloodstone that they used to amplify their own magical abilities in order to create the larger stone. We call it a Shadowstone.
The Shadowstone is a Seer artifact which, according to Historian Tranton, was used to amplify the Seers' magical abilities in order to create what eventually became the Bloodstone. It appears to be able to contain excess magic within it and has sockets for four bloodstone slivers.
In 1329 AE the Pact Commander, who had encountered a high concentration of magic and was suffering from strange symptoms which included seeing visions of ley-line anomalies, was presented with an option to contain the excess magic in their body within a reforged Shadowstone.
| There exists a massive Shadowstone, known as the Spire's Heart, at the center of The World Spire in Amnytas. This artifact was created by the last known living Seer, Isgarren, and was used to try to keep out threats from The Mists[1], but is currently under assault by Nourys, the Eyes of the Abyss. |
