Lith was surprised when Invigoration traveled through the moss and revealed to him that countless mana crystals nucleated from the cracks in the rocks underlying the rusted metal walls. The crystal vein followed the path of the mana geyser that they had previously encountered.
Both Kulah and the ruins Lith was currently exploring had been crystal mines in the past. Unlike the resting place of the last members of the Odi race, the ruins had to have been abandoned for centuries.
Mana crystals took a long time to form and judging by their vitality, nothing had interfered with their sustenance in a long while. Another surprise was the complete lack of defense systems, be them ancient or modern in making.
"Why are there no arrays here?" Lith's thought out loud, receiving an unexpected answer.
