The power behind crystals is a bit of a mystery to some, and I’m not talking about their healing abilities, but as forces of nature.    To say that crystals have magical properties, would be a fantastical proposition.  What  is one man’s science, could be another man’s magic, and vice versa.

Some crystals work much the same way that lasers do : – they take scattered rays of energy and make the energy field so coherent and unidirectional that a tremendous force is generated outward. 

Some crystals exhibit seemingly magical abilities to the unlearned mind:  -  certain crystalline materials, such as some minerals, previously absorb energy from electromagnetic radiation or other ionizing radiation, and this is re-emitted as light upon heating of the material.

Both of these are natural occurrences, but have also been  experimented with, in controlled environments, proving  that ‘unexplained phenonema’ will always out with a scientific explanation.

Thinking back to the mutations taking place between Maroon and Ertekon during full Eclipse, one can only wonder if there must be “a little something in the air”.
