Aidele returned to the Laboratory, followed by two gray-robed Stewards.
The two men carried a heavy, lead-sealed box, its surface covered in engraved Isolation Runes.
The Runes shimmered with an interwoven luster of Dark Gold and milky white, completely sealing away any fluctuations from within the box.
THUD.
The box landed on the lab bench with a dull thud.
"The things you wanted."
Aidele waved her hand, and the two Stewards bowed before withdrawing and closing the Laboratory door.
She walked up to the box, her fingertip tracing a line across the lead seal.
The Runes dimmed, and the lid slowly opened.
In an instant, the light inside the Laboratory distorted.

On the left, six fist-sized crystals were neatly arranged.
The crystals themselves were milky white, with a gentle Holy Light flowing within, but their surfaces were covered in a spiderweb of dark purple cracks.
