Crysts

Crysts are a fictional type of gemstone found in the video game Final Fantasy VII and its related media. They are small, multifaceted crystals that possess the ability to store and channel magical energy. Different types of Crysts are associated with various elemental forces and abilities, such as fire, ice, lightning, and healing. These properties allow them to be utilized by characters in the game to cast spells, enhance their combat capabilities, or be equipped as accessories that provide passive benefits.

In the lore of Final Fantasy VII, Crysts are derived from the planet's lifeblood, known as the Lifestream. They are formed when the Lifestream solidifies under specific geological conditions. The study and understanding of Crysts, particularly their magical properties, is a significant aspect of the game's narrative and gameplay mechanics. Players collect and manage various Crysts to customize their characters' abilities and strategies. The concept of Crysts, particularly their magical storage capabilities, is a key element that distinguishes the magic system in Final Fantasy VII from other fictional universes. Their discovery and application often play a role in the plot, driving character development and plot progression.
