Dragonfell Chronicles: Notes about the crystals themselves (that is known in canon):
There are 11 known elements with their own corresponding colors. Chaos (Black), Order (White), Fire (Red), Water (Navy blue), Air (Sky blue), Earth (Brown), Nature (Green) Lightning (Yellow), Ice (Pale blue), Mind (Pink), and Rot (Purple)
One born with a crystal is called a Wielder of [element]
Most of the elements have unique ways that they can be used. No two Wielders use their magic in exactly the same way. Example: One Wielder of water may command storms while throwing while themselves into the center of battle, while another may control the very blood found within living creatures to assassinate from the shadows. The limit is the imagination of the individual ((or character creator, lmao))
Crystals can be channeled through weapons or used on their own.
Crystals will often effect anatomy. In dragonborn, this is to an extreme degree (horns, wings, scales, ect) in an average Wielder, this is expressed most often as unnatural colorations. If the Crystals effect the personalities of the Wielders or if the Crystals' magic resonate and are drawn to specific personalities is debated.
Most dragonborn die at birth or when young. With their demi-god blood, they can regenerate from wounds that would kill a regular mortal, but it takes time, especially if the wound is sustained in combat. (Their blood can also be used to heal others in a pinch) They are powerful forces of nature, but suffer health effects whenever their power reaches its peak, mainly internal bleeding. A dragonborn can temporarily transform into nearly a full dragon as they beserk in battle, though this requires enough power that it could straight up kill them. It is also hard to control, and usually requires extreme situations to even trigger in the first place. Most suffer chronic pain in their regular days, made worse the more their abilities are used. A mortal body cannot truly contain a God.
Crystals are directly connected to a Wielders lifeforce. Though extremely hard to break, if they do their Wielder will die or suffer extreme health complications.
Crystals have their own pools of energy, but will start draining lifeforce if depleted and used over their limits
Crystals are very in tune with the emotions of their Wielder. Emotions will often stir the magic even in the most practiced at control.
Crystals pulse gently with their Wielders heartbeat, dim slightly when they sleep, and will shine bright when being used for powerful attacks or when the Wielder feels strong emotion
