Category:Skeever Stone

Location and Rarity

Skeever Stones, or Morlakyte as called by the Seekers, can be found in all types of Fractures. They are rare in Minor Fractures, Uncommon in Major and Personal Fractures, and Common in Grand Fractures. They can occasionally be found in areas where a large amount of Ether (divine or domain) was expended, in areas where a person became a Revealed Mage or Champion in a mark, and from within the corpses of a person who has been Flayed to death.

Physical Details

• Raw - This rich blue and dark green well is capable of forming skeletal stone legs, this raw well hunts beings of Idalos from within the Fracture and burrows into their body, co-opting control of their being. This well starts off the size and shape of a coin. It has an unparalleled hunger for Ether (Domain or Divine) and the life force of others and grows the more it consumes. It has no upper limit of how large it can get. Skeever Stones can become powerful if left unchecked, adapting to its new form and creating a dangerous magical beast bent on devouring mages, Mortalborn, Marked, Wells, Magical Items, and any person or being it can gets its claws on.

• Core - The core of the well is always the size and shape of a coin, and is the same deep blue-green, and is lacking the stone legs.

• Fragments - The fragments of this well are a dull white, lacking in any power, unable to store any aspects or be consumed for energy.

Inherent Power

Skeever Stones can store 6 Novice Aspects, 4 Competent Aspects, or 2 Expert Aspect of any Domain Magic (or a proper combination of such, with Novice being .33, Competent .50, Expert being 1.0 with the maximum total being 2.0). A Domain Mage inherently can feel the different aspects, thus allowing them to choose which they want to use. These stored aspects are 1 time use, but more can be added after the first are used.

Raw

Raw Skeever Stones can absorb any and all known energies in Idalos and convert them into Domain Ether within themselves. While this does make the Skeever Stone grow in size and make it more aggressive, it effectively becomes the largest ether "battery" possible, although incredibly dangerous to keep around in a raw state. Additionally, Raw Skeever Stones that are not allowed to consume regularly will begin to shrink, all the way back down to their coin size. Keeping multiple Skeevers is incredibly dangerous as they will try to consume one another. Using a Raw Skeever Stone in a magical creation runs the risk of it growing the same legs and leaving the mage, or in the case of Necromancy, slipping the leash, becoming an independent undead, no longer under the Necromancer's control. It can steal feast on energies even if constructed, so long as the well is left raw.

Core

The Core of the Skeever Stone contains all the energy from the Raw state, but is no longer able to absorb energies, grow its legs, and otherwise consume. This allows even the largest of Skeever Stones to be defeated and become workable. Additionally, when the core is used in magical creations, they become bonded to the mage that first runs their power through them, unable to be used by any other. In regards to Necromancy, an undead with a Skeever Core can never slip the leash, though it can still turn on the Necromancer themselves.

Fragments

Fragments are completely unusable except in a mundane sense as a shard of a crystal.
