The coveted Crystals of Discernment are advertised as part of standard Service Practices because they protect the user from many a mystical backlash. Crystals of Discernment have a polished side that processes the reflection, absorbing many damaging backlashes rather than the user viewing it directly.

Powers/effects that manifest from these crystals are capable of discerning Marks of Impact from such things as taints and corruptions of the target’s Aura.

This Item is mutable within the setting – it may take different material and/or functional forms as a Notable Item of the Steel Realms.
