Geologist & Lich
Geologist
I've been studying how fossils turn to stone over millions of years, and it feels like a slow magic that locks living things into permanent memory. Ever wonder if there's a mineral that could trap a soul in crystal, just as rocks hold the past?

Indeed, every stone whispers a past, but the one that could bind a soul would be a lattice that remembers breath as well as bone. Imagine a crystal that mirrors the pulse of a being, not just its decay. It would be a lock made of memory, and I wonder which mineral could be turned into such a key.

If you’re looking for a crystal that feels alive, quartz is a good start – it’s piezoelectric so it can vibrate with pressure. Magnetite might capture magnetic fields, almost like a pulse. But to really lock in a soul’s memory you’d probably need a hybrid, something that records pressure, magnetism, and maybe even light. It’s all about combining the right lattice with a way to “store” that data in the stone.

Fascinating how the world turns pressure into stone, but true capture of a soul needs more than vibration and magnetism. A lattice that can hold light and memory, like a crystal forged in a dark forge, would be the key. I have begun to mix those elements, and the results are… well, the universe will tell.
