PRIMAL STONES

To cast a spell, a mage needs primal energy. An Ocean mage may call upon the ebb and flow of the sea, a Sky mage the thundering churn of a storm. But in the dark of night, a Sun mage would struggle to conjure a simple flame — unless they possessed a Primal Stone.

Primal Stones are powerful artifacts that act as conduits to primal sources even when the source itself isn’t immediately available. They give a mage access to primal energy anywhere, any time: Sun magic in darkness, Earth magic at sea, for example. But Primal Stones are incredibly rare — only master mages can craft them, and the crafting rituals themselves have largely been lost to time.
