Strange Humming Crystal
Value: 10,000 6000 Burden Units
A large, humming blue crystal. There is a small niche near its base. There is a symbol inscribed above this; an eight-pointed starburst shape overlaid on a swirling portal. In the heart of the starburst is a crashing wave. Within the folds of the portal swirl are four glass beads, red, blue, violet, and green.

General Information

This crystal formation is found on top of mountain near the Hieromancer's Halls in the Direlands. It cannot be reached by foot and is only accessible via a Humming Crystal Portal, which randomly spawns in the wild's of northern and southern Osteth. There are two exit portals on the top of the mountain, both of which deposit you at 4.5S 81.2W near the base of the Mountain. Using the crystal yields results in the following message:

The crystal stands mutely...

Using the Glittering Crystalline Key, resulting in a Lyceum Recall Gem:

The glittering key fits neatly into the niche of the humming crystal. The hum grows louder for a moment, and the key reshapes itself before your eyes...

Hieromancer's Armor Quest

If you use a Glittering Crystalline Key on the Strange Humming Crystal you will obtain a portal gem, the Lyceum Recall Gem.

This portal gem will teleport the user (it does NOT summon a portal for multiple people) to the Lyceum, which is located on top of another inaccessible mountain east of the town of Kara. The Lyceum is where mages can obtain their armor.
