'The giant blue glintstone crown worn by Lusat, primeval current sorcerer. This crown replaced Lusat's brain and skull altogether, and now, removed from his body, it is all but dead. What power remains within raises the potency of Lusat's primeval current sorceries at the cost of additional FP consumption.' Lusat is Azur's twin in the academy's quietest disaster. The two grand masters were the only sorcerers ever to ascend to the rank, and both of them, separately, in different chambers of the same long apprenticeship, pursued the primeval current to the same conclusion : their own crowns of inorganic glintstone, replacing flesh and bone with the very substance they had studied.

'A robe reserved for grand masters at the Academy of Raya Lucaria. Corroded by blue glintstones. Since the grand masters Azur and Lusat were driven from the academy, no one has achieved their formerly-held rank.' The academy expelled them both. The reason was the same in both cases, their bodies were replaced by living glintstone, and that fact alone broke the academy's institutional protocols. The Olivinus Conspectus, which Lusat founded before his ascension, continues his project among lesser scholars who will never reach his rank ; Karolos Conspectus, Azur's, does the same. Two grand masters' chairs sit empty at Raya Lucaria. Two ageless men sit elsewhere in the realm, breathing through glintstone heads, waiting on a current that is, at its source, dark.
