Magic Stone Currency
Magic stones—crystallized forms of pure mana—are the premium currency of Cyrene. They are highly valued by:
Enchanters
Mages
Alchemists
Adventurers
Dragon clans
Magic stones are stable, hold potent energy, and function both as currency and crafting materials.

❖ Low-Grade Magic Stone (L-Stone)
