A vein of milky crystal
Minor arcanum #57
Found in a cave, a mountain, or some rocky outcrop, likely considered sacred by the locals. It looks like cloudy white quartz, but glows faintly at night.
You can unlock the mysteries of this vein and craft a talisman against the undead, but to do so you must...
Requirements
- ☐ …personally extract a large 1-load hunk of crystal (Value 1) from the vein.
- ☐ …have a gemcutter shape and polish it into a perfect sphere (a Value 1 job).
- ☐ …learn the sacred words for imbuing a moonstone with light and then calling that light forth.
- ☐ …spend three nights under the full moon, speaking the sacred words, risking a mistake that ruins the moonstone or at least wastes your efforts this month.
The rest is discovered in play. Every arcanum has a hidden back — what it becomes, what it wants, what it costs. That’s for your table to find out, so it isn’t published here.
Back to all arcana.

The app deals arcana face-down; the GM flips them when the fiction says so.
