Spirit Tears

Spirit Tears
Spirit Tears or Spirit Essences are gem-like objects, no larger than a small pebble, provided from elemental spirits. They are specifically provided from spirits, who are masters of their elemental domain (i.e Spirit of Water from Lake Lagadorian is a master of the water elemental).

Appearance
Spirit Tears manifest as objects in a 3D shape. They first form in a liquid-like state before crystallizing seconds before being provided. In spite of their tiny size, they are very dense.

Purpose
The role of the Spirit Tears is to provide additional powers to Zenyōso, the sentient spirit sword. Each Tear is added to the mithril for the element to be unlocked. Once done so, the element can be used as the user desires so.

History
All the four master elemental spirits were aware of the sword’s existence. The first Gandálfr in history informed them of future events several thousands of years ago of their purpose. As the years went by, the recent Gandálfr, Shadow, fulfills the role to collect the tears to unlock Zenyōso’s elemental abilities. This also depicts an ancient prophecy to unlock the true power of the elements.
