Crystallized mana

Crystallized mana is a mineral mined in the Dungeon.^[1] Per Zorian, "crystalized mana is basically ambient mana in solid form. Harder to make use of than ambient mana, since it first has to be broken down into the more familiar, ethereal form before you can use it to power anything, but it is very convenient as a mana battery. Most mana batteries, such as the ones made with spell formulas, lose all stored mana in a couple of days to a week. Crystalized mana, on the other hand, is completely stable in normal circumstances."^[2] It usually looks like translucent blue crystals.^[1] In the novel text, Kirielle (per Taiven) calls them "pretty blue stones". One piece is described as "light blue crystal".^[3]

It is used to power wards, golems and other magical items (if ambient mana levels are insufficient). ^[2]

It is usually spelled as crystalized mana in the novel text.
