Nexus Shattering

Nexus crystals are the concentrated arcane essence of the Twisting Nether that seeped into the armaments and artifacts of Azeroth. They possess immense power and potential and are used in many magical enchantments that empower the recipient tremendously. Usually these crystals are so dense that not even the strongest spell or weapon can break them without releasing a volatile and lethal explosion. Aszune, however, managed to create a method of splitting a nexus crystal into two lesser magical shards, maintaining its stability and energy.

I would love to conduct experiments with the instructions found inside Aszune's manifesto. Bring me one such crystal and we will see how true her words will ring.

<Lorekeeper Javon holds the crystal in one hand, the grimoire in the other. Reciting the incantations written on the pages, the nexus crystal begins to move, agitated by the swell of arcane power. Increasing in intensity, the rapid movements peak before breaking under vibrant purple sparks, leaving two golden shards in Javon's hand.>

Success! That was marvelous, truly! I am amazed how close to perfect Aszune's spells are. With a bit of practice and refinement, we will be able to quickly and more safely break apart nexus crystals with ease.

<name>, thank you for your cooperation. You can keep these shards as a reward for your assistance. Please, bring me any nexus crystal you can find, so that I may continue my experimentations.
