Ruby of Enlightenment
In the first 4 books (Lore of Arcana), we hear about three devices/artefacts that drive the story. So far I've shown you via AI art prompts how I envision the Ancient Oracles and the Maghdim Medaillon.

Yes, there are other sacred tools, and we'll get to those, but these three are most important initially. To that end, there's one missing and that's the Ruby:
Had a hard time trying to explain to AI what I'm after here (a 14 facet gem large enough that it needs two hands to hold) and this is the closest. It's larger than this in the books, but oh well 😅
Everyone advocates for the destruction of these devices, claiming contained magic is dangerous - which will survive into the endgame?

Maghdim Medaillon

Probably the most important magical artefact in my Lore, used throughout the series. In fact, this is how it begins:
PROLOGUE
IN A TIME now passed beyondmemory, a man whispered over a golden disc as he set it into a vice.
Vannis Valla of theValleur lifted an engraving tool to mark the first glyph. He murmured the wordsof an ancient enchantment, a repeated rhythm, until it was perfect, andwhispered more as he polished. It took time, many months, and he rushednothing. He spoke of it to no one. Only when the time was right would he revealhis handiwork.
This man possessedthe tools and skills to achieve his goal, as well as the voice that was impetusand creation. To infuse inanimate gold, to gift atoms sensitivity, to compelunassailable eternity, required tone, repetition and emotion.
Imperative wasemotion, for it determined the ultimate nature of the infused device. Iffashioned in anger, the consequence was an instrument capable of confusion;indifference led to instability, hate to darkness, mockery to deception,egotism to arrogance, and love to illumination and enlightenment.
Vannis intendedonly love.
The Supreme Wisdom - the Maghdim Medaillon -of the Valleur was made tangible and it was beautiful. On the day he laid it ina protective casket, he thought, I amdone now. The future is secure.
He was wrong.
