Guide to Glintstone Magic

Glintstone

This spellbook is a composition of a wide variety of spells that utilize a conduit known as glintstone. It is unknown exactly where glintstone originates, but it is speculated that the turquoise-blue stone once came from the starry expanse of space among the celestial bodies of the moon and stars.

These spells and abilities are available to most learned folk, such as wizards and bards. Those who study magic and spend years honing their craft. However, this type of commitment can often be bypassed when used by those who cut corners in their spellcasting. Warlocks and even sorcerers have been known to benefit from the powers of Glintstone Magic.
