Manufacturing

The process is simple, but time and resource consuming. Once mined from the sea caves under Wall Stone Coast, the crystal needs to be sculpted into the lense. To do this, the sculptor needs arcane magic and glassblowing tools. Just as you would melt glass into vases and windows, the crystals have unique properties that forces them to bend into certain shapes. Beforehand a mold needs to be made for the appropriate size and shape of the lense, typically the size of eyewear. Once made, the sculptor can begin. He will heat the furnace up to the highest possible temperature then add arcane magic to heat it further. Once at the desired temperature, the crystal can be added. While inside the furnace, the crystal will turn into a goo like state that allows for it to be molded into a desired form. It would then be put in the mold for cooling. Due to this properties it will be evenly curved during its cooling process. After the cooling is complete, the lense itself is made, no smoothing required. However, the magical properties for it need to be enchanted. This is typically done with necormany to enchantment any source of magic the sculpture desires.
