"Alright then, Karo, guess you're stuck with us." Katt smiled, seeing that it'd be more difficult if the boy decided to go with Kyrian as well, giving the other teacher four heads to keep track of, "Oh, almost forgot," Katt lowered her hand a bit, darkness seeping into the area as the small glowing orb was moved a bit, from her other hand there was a small flash of light as a rolled up scroll appeared in her hand, "Here, don't want anyone getting lost." he smiled as she tossed it to Vook, the scroll being a special type of map that automatically recorded the area as it was traversed. She lifted up the orb of light again, "Alright, stick close to either me or Ms. Salem, and watch your steps, these places are infamous for their traps." she warned, making sure they didn't think it was a joke as she began walking into the catacombs on her side.

As they moved through the stone hallway it slowly became bright as a faint bluish glow extended out over the entire area, "Welkynd crystals," Katt stopped as she pointed upwards. Above her hanging in a crudely designed chandelier were a number of clear crystal stones, each one glowing with a bright blue aura, the source of the light, "A number of objects in this world and others are cabable of storing magical power. In most cases what someone will do is place a special type of enchantment on a weapon or object, then insert a gem of some kind and infuse it with their own energy so the enchantment draws off it instead of their own bodies, holding a spell for too long can be quite dangerous, though at your levels I doubt you'd be able to conjure anything that drains too much energy for that long."

She scratched at her head a bit, "Now where was I, oh right, the welkynd crystals," she laughed a bit, "Unlike other gems, when these are infused with magic they give off a strong glow, as you can see, and so were quite often used as a way to light up areas since they were more versatile than candles or lights, or whatever these people may have used." She continued down the hall, "Unfortunately these crystals had one unforeseen effect, the magic they give off is like a beacon for anything sensitive to it. Drawing them to these ruins." As she walked through a doorway into a large room she stepped aside, allowing the other students to see into the room, a number of skeletons lumbering around, some carrying old nearly useless weaponry and armor that hung off their bones, "If exposed to the energy long enough it can even bring life to the dead." she explained, "Anyone wanna try their hands? They aren't that strong, mostly all they have going for them is their numbers."
