Heartstone

See Dwarven Wizards for more information, specificly the transmutation school.

The school only became what it is today after the discovery of heart stones and how to craft them. These heart stones are compressed rock that students spend years crushing smaller and smaller. Initially used as an exercise in using all of one’s magic each day, it was soon discovered that these stones took on abnormal qualities. Master heartcrafters spend their entire lives creating these stones and embuing them with a variety of different effects. Though not all who learn transmutation go down this path, all have at least a passing understanding of them.
