Ashvar Mine[]
Before the founding of Ascension Academy, the area had a rich source of attunement crystals that formed underground over centuries. Some of the benefactors of the Cross Allied Forces decided to mine the area and use the profits from the mine to help aid in the construction of the school. A few months into the mining operation, an extremely rich attunement stone was found, which would have the power needed to form a protective barrier around the school. Over time, the mine was exhausted of the rich attunement crystals. Some were shipped to nearby cities to protect important buildings such as Cathedrals or Government buildings. However, the crystals that were shipped lacked in comparison to the pure attunement stone that powered the academy. Minor attunement crystals were sold to companies that mass produced staves and weaponry that would be able to enhance their combat capabilities.
These crystals are able to connect with an element and eventually become a conduit for the desired source of energy or element. The stones used to test one's affinity were used in the Ascension Academy placement tests. This was possible by fully attuning the stones with a single element. By doing this, the stones cannot revert back to an empty vessel.
