A Preliminary Study of the Tuskerville Crystal

Upon careful study of the strands contained within the Tuskerville Crystal it becomes apparent that said strands are not in a random configuration. Instead, each strand is aligned perfectly with the Ley Convergence that was, until recently, located in a position directly under the Crystal at a depth of some 400 feet (± 22 feet).

Further study reveals that the strands in the lower 3% of the formation are twisted into something closely resembling a Flowwarp Pattern.¹ Careful control of one's flows is strongly recommended while in proximity to the Tuskerville Crystal.

Preliminary findings show a high likelihood that the crystal was not designed as a storage device, but, rather, as a conduit for attracting strands and channeling them toward the Convergence. Furthermore, it would appear that the as yet unexplained movement of the Convergence caused the apparent Flowwarp Pattern in those strands closest to the Convergence. Given that a Flowwarp Pattern only forms as a result of rapid flow movement, it is logical to assume that the Convergence moved far more quickly than ever recorded before.

It is probable that the warping of the strands at the exit point of the Crystal caused a blockage leading to the Crystal's current over-full state. It is also probable that the Crystal's inability to reduce the pressure caused by an overload of strands lead ultimately to it's structural instability.

Given the concentration of aligned strands contained within the Crystal, one, theoretically, could use a shard as small as 4" long with a 1" diameter as a Minor Focus. However, it should be noted that any attempt to remove a shard from the lower 3% of the structure could cause catastrophic ignition of the Flowwarp Pattern. Given the density of strands within the Crystal, such an ignition could destroy an area roughly 50 miles in diameter.

Such weavings can be dangerously unstable if left in a warped state for an extended period in an area of dense strands. Fortunately, the chance for catastrophic ignition is extremely low (about .14%) assuming only natural forces effect it.
