Weeping crystal is a Plain relic, without an affinity. It holds an old piece of Covenant-stuff, the substance of the Seal-shards, bound into a crystal that is always damp with light, and its treasure spirit answers to Wefan, the Weaver.
It does not depend on how many Nodes the kingdom has raised. The crystal asks for no new Wellspring at all. A coreless lord can hold it and store what it gives, because gathering mana is not casting.
Heaven counts the crystal in its holder's Weight, so the Law of Equals sets that kingdom among heavier rivals, and a conqueror can carry it off as spoils.
No one knows who made it. Sealborn say the crystal is a Wellspring that learned to travel, and that it sheds mana because the Covenant is thin inside it. That is their belief. The record says only that it holds an old shard and a spirit, as every relic does.
Tellan, the Keeper of Tallies keeps it among the Mnemoliths between Turnings. There is one in each Turning, and if it is lost, its shard returns to his keeping for the recasting.
