Property

A sky-blue gem streaked with white – a piece of the sky turned to stone, they say.

Use: smash it with a bludgeoning weapon doing at least 5 damage (AC 20). It breaks into grey shards with a thunderclap, and a storm gathers overhead for 8 hours as control weather – but it is not yours to control, and it is always at least as cold as the season.

Good for: weapons that deal or resist cold, and air or storm items as the main ingredient (excellent fit), e.g. a frost brand.

Affinity: air, storm, cold

In this system

A portion of Skystone is an empty vessel that can hold 10,000 MP (MP). It only becomes magical when a character charges it. Unique parts are what a special slot is for.
