Mirestone
Deep within the treacherous landscapes of the Obsidian Mire lies a rare and potent gem known as Mirestone. Shrouded in the mists of the mire, this enigmatic stone is sought after for its remarkable ability to store vast amounts of magical energy. The gem's dark, lustrous sheen, reminiscent of the volcanic glass that gives the mire its name, belies the pulsating power contained within. Its appearance is as captivating as it is foreboding, hinting at the depth of arcane secrets it holds.
Mirestone's allure draws a motley array of seekers—from ambitious arcanists to power-hungry warlords—each drawn by the promise of harnessing its formidable energies. The stone's capacity to act as an arcane battery makes it invaluable in the creation of magical artifacts and the enhancement of spellwork, positioning it as a cornerstone of magical advancement. However, the dangers of extracting Mirestone from the heart of the Obsidian Mire are manifold, involving not just braving the natural hazards but also contending with the creatures that the stone's magic has attracted or transformed.

Properties
Material Characteristics
Mirestone is visually striking, often found in clusters that emerge like dark jewels from the geodes and caches buried in the muck and detritus of the Obsidian Mire. Each stone typically appears as a multifaceted gem, its surfaces glossy and reflecting an array of deep, dark hues that seem almost fluid under the light. The core of each Mirestone pulsates with a faint, eerie glow, indicative of the potent magical energy contained within. This glow occasionally intensifies, especially when the stone is in proximity to magical activity, adding to its mystique and allure.
The clusters in which Mirestone is found often form in spherical geodes, ranging from the size of a fist to as large as a boulder, making their extraction both a delicate and risky endeavor. The outer shell of these geodes is tough and requires careful handling to prevent damage to the valuable crystals inside. Once opened, the inside reveals a stunning array of Mirestone crystals, tightly packed and intergrown, their edges sharp and their formation seemingly chaotic yet beautifully natural. This arrangement not only highlights the stone’s raw beauty but also underscores the random, untamed nature of its formation, as influenced by the volatile magical currents of the Obsidian Mire.
