Soul Crystal
A stone of power, binding spirit to combat.
The Soul Crystal is a mystical gemstone that serves as a vessel for a Scion's soul and a conduit for their abilities. In Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers, these crystals are intrinsically linked to the user's essence, allowing them to channel power in battle. As such, this description is based on the limited information available.
