- For the object materials, see either glass or gemstone.
The Crystals are a set of five artifact crystal balls that appear in dNetHack, and are associated with the Temple of Chaos variant of the Chaos Quest.
Four of the Crystals are found early on in the quest, but attempting to pick them up will cause them to evade your grasp and blast you; once a Crystal's guardian is defeated, that Crystal can be safely picked up - this renders them useless if they appear in bones and the Chaos Quest in that game is a different variant.
Generation
The first four Crystals are unaligned and found embedded within the walls of the Ruined Temple, while The Black Crystal is generated in the possession of Chaos.
As Chaos Quest artifacts, all five Crystals cannot be wished for since they are guaranteed to appear if you generate the Chaos Temple as your Chaos Quest branch; only the Black Crystal is counted towards the total number of artifacts generated in a game. Any of the Crystals can generate in bones files; if this occurs in a game with the Temple of Chaos as your Chaos Quest, the Crystals in question are replaced with normal crystal balls.
Description
All five Crystals each weigh less than the standard 150 aum of a normal crystal ball. Each Crystal has an #invoke ability and an extrinsic property that roughly matches their element; carrying each Crystal grants knowledge of a specific spell and provides bonuses to casting that spell, along with increasing the skill cap for certain skills by one point. In addition, carrying all five Crystals confers a single use of life saving that stacks with the life saving of the Black Crystal: the life saving property of all five Crystals is used first if possible, and the Black Crystal's life saving is used otherwise. The Black Crystal and the other four Crystals will appear as "cracked" to show that their life saving has been used up; cracked Crystals otherwise function as normal.
