"The fabrication of Trabe crystals from light is a craft which had been squandered and forgotten by your kind, now restored by Arbiter in Darkness. This knowledge did not avail the lost tribe of crystal shapers, but perhaps your fate shall be more forgiving. The Chalice offers superb protection against piercing and slicing attacks, but not any force of impact. Therefore, certain foes could smash through it like so much glasswork. The spell pattern, especially when well integrated, is capable of self-repair over time."

"One of the simplest manifestations of crauyarin at a lunar mage’s disposal, the Crystal Dart spell summons a short-lived spike of milky red crystal and flings it at a chosen target. The crauyarin requires direct starlight or bright moonlight to properly coalesce; otherwise, the caster must expend starlight aura to fuel its creation."

"Of all the Fabrication substances invented, Iridius crystal is perhaps the most versatile. It takes well to many shapes and purposes, including the collection and storage of starlight energy. The Stellar Collector apparatus is a highly useful application of this crystal, but it requires some sort of psychic transducer to sieve essence from light.

The crystal's namesake, Iridius the Guide, was a priest-turned-demonologist of some infamy during the glory days of Throne City. What makes him interesting to Traders is his ahead-of-his-time research into a fanciful yellow-green crystal to which he attributed numerous uses. There are no records of him successfully creating such a thing -- he wasn't even a Lunar magician. Still, his descriptions bore striking resemblance to what is possible today. Any further information on Iridius himself that might have survived is kept under lock and key by the overlords of Throne City's carcass."

"The Arbiter's Stylus spell is excellent for persistently attacking a single opponent. As long as the cyclic pattern is supplied with energy, it will produce brief-lived strokes of avtalia crystals against the target. Avtalia is difficult to fabricate fully, but in the hands of a resourceful Trader, even the residue of its incompleteness can be advantageous."
