MagiStones
Overview
MagiStones are stones are what allows individuals to access the Magi Current that flows through the universe and gives life to everything.
MagiStones are mined from the earth and are breakable until implantation into an infant. Usually the mining of the stones is either done by criminals or the indebted. The MaiStones are distinctive in their raw state as they are completely transparent and smooth to the touch. Each stone is generally round / oval in shape. It is unknown how the stones are formed or how they are able to connect to the Magi Current, though priests claims that this is the will of the Gods. As a result of the extraction process the MagiStones are very expansive and its common for middle class citizens to be able to afford maybe one or two stones. The maximum number of stones a person can have implanted is eight. There is also a charge for having infants implanted with stones if a White Magi bearer is available to do the implantation.
MagiStones come in a number of colours that grant the bearer certain abilities. For example Pink is the colour of communication which allows the bearer to communicate with others, animals and even the gods. it is possible for a bearer to have multiple colour stones, though this is rare. For bearers who do have multiple stones, it docent effect the amount of power they have but does effect what their stones can do for example please see Colour Combinations and associated powers below.
Magistones Implentation
As already stated families or sponsors will buy Clear MagiStones. Once these stones have been purchased they will usually reach out to a White Magi Bearer who will perform the implantation ceremony where they render the infant paralyzed to begin the process. Once the process is complete the infant is un-paralyzed and can continue their normal activities. The process is painless for everyone involved. However, if a White Magi doesn't perform the ceremony prior to the infants first birthday then they can no longer have the stones imported without serious risk to the individual undertaking the implantation.
Colours and abilities
The MagiStones come in different colors, each with its own unique power. Here are some examples:
Red MagiStones grant the user the power of fire, allowing them to control flames and heat.
Blue MagiStones grant the user the power of water, allowing them to control water and ice.
Green MagiStones grant the user the power of nature, allowing them to control plants, earth and animals.
Yellow MagiStones grant the user the power of electricity, allowing them to control lightning and electrical currents.
Purple MagiStones grant the user the power of telekinesis, allowing them to move objects with their mind.
Black MagiStones grant the user the power of darkness, allowing them to control shadows and create illusions.
White MagiStones grant the user the power of light, allowing them to create light and heal others. Also have the ability to implant stones into infants
Pink MagiStones, Grants the user the power of communication with animals, people and gods.
Colour Assignment
No one knows why but when a stone is implanted it doesn't change colour until the infant turns into an adolescents at which point the stones will change colour from clear to a specific colour or colour combination. It is thought that stones colours are linked to the characteristics of the person and their experiences both now and their levels of empathy.
Here are some possible examples for each stone color:
Red MagiStones: Assigned to individuals who are passionate, driven, and have a strong sense of purpose.
Blue MagiStones: Assigned to individuals who are calm, collected, and have a strong sense of intuition.
Green MagiStones: Assigned to individuals who are nurturing, empathetic, and have a strong connection to nature.
Yellow MagiStones: Assigned to individuals who are energetic, optimistic, and have a strong sense of creativity.
Purple MagiStones: Assigned to individuals who are introspective, analytical, and have a strong sense of logic.
Black MagiStones: Assigned to individuals who are mysterious, independent, and have a strong sense of individuality.
White MagiStones: Assigned to individuals who are pure-hearted, selfless, and have a strong sense of compassion.
Pink MagiStones; Assigned to individuals who are empathetic, compassionate, and have a strong sense of connection to others
It is worth noting that its possible for people to change their fundamental self though such a change is usurally hard and takes a tremendous amount of time. Should that happen its theoretically possible that the bearers stones would change as well.

how stones are used
MagiStones can be used in two ways. The first is through incantations this allows the user to specify how their power is used and directed. By doing this it focuses the mind in a certain way to enable the desired effect. The other way is to visualize the what you want to do in your minds eye and then allow the flow of Magi Current to flow through the stones to produce the desired effect. However, the later of way offers users more variety in how they can apply their powers but requires more focus than incantations. Whilst in opposite s true for those who use incantations.
Training
In order to prepare bearers for their use, when a child enters adolescence their guardian or sponsor will seek out a master or trainer to teach the adolescence in how to use their powers. In some cases students might attend a school that will teach them or temple or guild. The first two will normally incur a cost to the adolescence guardian or sponsor but will allow the adolescence once the training is complete to have some ability to decide their future. The guild option is normally free as once training is complete the bearer will work for that guild for a period of time to pay off the dept.
Limitations / Consequences
MagiStones require a high level of focus not only to produce the desired effect but also to control the amount of power used. As a result if someone is untrained both physically and mentally it could have drastic consequences not just for the barer but also for those around the bare if they unleashed their power whilst not having full control.
Other consequences could be that if two much power is used it could lead to the bearer passing out, becoming psychically tired, illness or even death should the use be too much for their bodies to handle.
Support Equipment
There are some items that can be specially crafteded that can be used to focus a magi powers or even amplify them. This is done by grinding up a raw MagiStone and then using it in the crafting of weapons or items. Typically items like Spears or Tridents are used to amplify a Maji bearer blasting ability whilst still allowing them to engage in close quarter combate. Anouther example is mirrors for those with communications powers. As they can use the mirror as a way or projecting an image of the person they are communicating with to make it easier if there is a vast distance between them.
Its worth keeping in mind that not every item is used in this was as it could be too costly or could weaken the items strength. For example using MagiStones in the forging of swords and or Axes will weaken the blade thus rendering it useless after only a couple of hits. In addition certain items are not suitable for the process such as Bows, clothing and Jewry
NullStones
NullStones are a Brown in colour with stripes of cream running through them. These stones can be placed in collars or bracelets that can be attached with a lock to a Maji Bearer to render them powerless. They can also be placed in the walls of a prison if desired to create an area effect however, this would require one stone to be placed every 7 feet in length including in the celling and floors. Some of the oldest prisons in the known world have adopted this method for mass Maji prisons.
NullStones are also unlike MajiStones in that they dont come in a regular size, in fact often NullStones can be cut down to the size required. However, the largest Nullstone mined is approximately 1 foot in length by 15cms wide.
