Manalith, Large (3.5e Equipment)
Manalith: Mages are, and always have been, envied for their abilities. Never mind the wearying spells that cut years off your life, never mind the years of training required, people always seems to lust after the power that a few quicksilver-addled men possess. Stories rocket around cities and towns of philosopher's stones, magical baubles that can work amazing miracles on simple, somewhat valueless metals. Less known is the tale of the Manaliths, crystals of the purest mana that can allow the most boorish lump to enjoy the caress of magic's embrace, even for a few, fleeting moments. A manalith has never been created, and are only rarely found in the purest, most untouched wilds. Millions have been offered in the pursuit of these objects, but only a few, paltry pieces have been returned. Rumors abound, of the elves using these crystals to power their mythals. Never has been this confirmed, but not for lack of trying.

Basics: A manalith is, in essence, magic in stone form. The extent of a manaliths power is dependant on its size, but they all serve as magical amplifiers. It allows non-mages to use magic, and it allows mages to use More magic.
A manalith, after a certain amount of use, crumbles into dust, the magic that kept the crystal latice in place used up.
Almost of unheard of, these manaliths are often used as plot devices. Just know that they are unknowingly powerful.
