The Lachla Shards

The Lachla Shards are legendary items that arrived in Elysia many years ago, travelling aboard a flying ship that crash landed and the Lachla split into 5 shards. Mindflayers arrived soon after in search of the Lachla Shards, dominating and killing by the thousands, consuming the brains of their victims as they search for their prized treasure.

The members of Arcadia opted to hide them from the mindflayers to protect the others worlds, with Elysia being the sacrifice for this cause.

Researched by Vyodros
Upon research by Vyodros, it is ascertained that the red lachla shard fragment emanates powerful psionic capabilities. Upon deep and detailed research into the fragment of the Lachla Shard, the 'magic' that had shown itself to share elements of every school is in fact a combination that is formed to enhance and amplify the mental abilities uncommonly known as psionics. Whilst the shards do not hold sentiency, the fragment is not a gemstone but a crystallised membrane protecting a dormant life-force of psionic power.

The researcher has gained the following innate spellcasting ability.
