She sighed softly closing her eyes and then only when she was ready did she begin to explain the power of the gem and what all the shards could do both separately and when placed all back together.
"The Shards are entities of a gem, Contarnex, so powerful that when all pieced together had unlimited power that have the ability to project energy blasts, ultimate healing and life, control the minds of lesser beings, manipulate the flow of time and even banish their enemies to alternate realities.
The shards have limitations. None of the shards recall the omnipotent being it used to be but each contains elements of the Contarnex personality along with their own special abilities. Thus, a hard can be eccentric and unpredictable, with them striking their foes in an unexpected yet surprisingly practical manner. From their fingertips they can project trans-dimensional thunderbolts or bombard enemies with rocks along with boulders, transform into singularities to destabilize gravity or even simply fling their enemies backwards in time until they disintegrate. They can heal with the ease of a caress. But, they can only do this feats when the moon is right. But, if ever whole again the Contarnex feeds off the power of the moon, any moon."
She stopped took a deep breath. "We broke the gem apart and scattered the shards. In the wrong hands the Contarnex would give the mage unlimited power."
Her words were ominous. Honou felt like the weight of the air itself was heavy. He looked over at Verik. He was at a loss of what to do next.
