Ethan's group spent more than two hours searching every inch of Pyrathi territory. Their largest haul by far was a massive supply of red crystals.
According to Zareth's memories, they were called flame crystals, a resource unique to Pyrelia. They could accelerate advancement and increase the power of fire-type abilities, making them a resource every major race fought over.
As Pyrelia's dominant race, the Pyrathi controlled several of the world's largest flame crystal mines. No other race in Pyrelia had a larger stockpile.
Naturally, Ethan didn't hold back. His spatial storage ring had more than enough room, so he took every flame crystal he could find.
They were most effective for Awakened with fire-type abilities, but anyone could use them. Flame crystals contained actual energy. Besides helping people advance, they could power ritual circles and other energy-driven devices, making them a viable substitute for crystal cores.
