Sorceries draw from the power imbued in glintstone.[1] It is said that glintstone is the amber of the cosmos, and that it contains the vitality of the stars.[2] Glintstones have a wide variety of applications: they can be embedded in staves used to cast sorceries,[3] and the stone crowns worn by scholars of the Academy of Raya Lucaria Conspectuses;[4] used as ornamentation in various weapons;[5][6][7] or used as a receptacle for a sorcerer's soul after removal with a Primal Glintstone Blade.[8][9] In addition, many glintstone sorceries conjure projectiles made of glintstone, which can be launched at enemies.[10]
Glintstone has a crystalline appearance, and many varieties exist. The glintstone embedded in the staffs of the Raya Lucarian sorcerers is a turquoise color,[11] a hue shared by many of the fundamental glintstone sorceries, while glintstone used by the Carian Royal Family is typically lapis lazuli blue.[12][13]
