I definitely like the idea of the Crown as manipulating powerful and dangerous Daelkyr magic.  I think it has the power to open up gates to Xoriat, which can be used in several ways: direct energy attacks, or also to power the creation of docents and other items.Hmm... not totally happy with this quite yet... any other suggestions?</blockquote>
