Amber Magic

Amber is the petrified blood of plants, and where Anhua is the lord of animals and their blood, the blood of plants is the providence of Gaia. The liquid resin, as plant blood is called, is rather useless, and Gaia isn't one to reward people slaying her creations, however, the petrified resin, created by the passing of time, is a perfull conduit of magic, specifically healing magic, as it holds part of the soul of the long-dead plant it originates from, and with it, a part of Gaia herself.
These little yellow and brown stones enhance the strength of healing spells, as well as mitigate some of the danger to the caster. Besides this, it are the amber stones with remnants of dead plants or animals inside them that are especially powerful, as they have the capacity of granting unique and powerful properties to healing spells, depending on the creature or plant inside.

Quality

Amber with a creature contained within, is rare, and to most people, it is a mere curiosity, but to mages, these are a treasured tool, the better the stone, the better it can be used, they are often polished smooth, which doesn't effect the magic much, but makes the prettier, what's more important is if there are any cracks or air bubbles inside it, which can make it less effective.
