“Well, it was around ten meters, with the crystals I had at home. Those however… are huge. I told you that I don’t know if the distance depends on their size or not.
And Zephyr, if me and V are right that they are absorbing magic and using it to grow, then it’s rather impossible to extract it back from them.
There’s a way, somehow. But I can imagine, someone could use this as a form of mass terrorism. If someone planted these in an area where there’s a lot of magical power being used, they could sap massive amounts of energy. It’s not good if it’s destroyed, but if they could actually steal it and harness it, someone could gain TREMENDOUS amounts of magical power, if it didn’t tear them apart. Someone like you or me could become as powerful as one of the royal siblings or Nightmare! Good thing we don’t know how to harvest magic from them, if it’s possible.
“Even without extracing the power these gems can be easily weaponised. Grind them to dust and spread - magic will be dumpened over large area and it will be nearly impossible to remove the dust. And since those grow, it’s easy to produce more of them…” hippogriff shudders. “Let’s get out of here.”
“I still think it may be impossible to extract magic from them. If they are ‘alive’ then it would be like saying 'Let me extract the food you ate 3 days ago’. But who knows. For now I agree with Vindicar, we should get out.”
