Magic Forums

I always thought magic and natural crystals went hand in hand.
I grew up a bit of a purist when it came to man made tools (Resin Alters, and mad-made crystals, etc), and I genuinely thought they were less suitable for practice.
Over time though I've discovered something very interesting about Opalite: It's easier.. It's very capable as a magical tool, providing a smooth and comfortable focus on par with quarts or wand stone.

I wonder why this is. My theory is that since it's man-made it's naturally compatible with humans, in much the same way natural crystals are.
Magic is supposedly based in intent more than anything, and it's interesting to wonder if the qualities of opalite are ultimately just as natural as other non-man-made crystals.
