SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP

Transcript:
Strauss: Throughout my studies of Dark Aether crystalline structures, few have intrigued me as much as the symbiotic relationship shared by three particularly unique and rare crystals.
Strauss: On a molecular level, these three are codependent. While each can survive on its own, they are exponentially more powerful when unified.
Strauss: There is the Polymorphic Crystal Core, which has developed the most fascinating survival technique -- it can reconfigure its form at will.
Strauss: There is the Energetic Geode, a highly volatile crystal that can evolve when impacted with high concentrations of Aetherium.
Strauss: And there is the Tempered Crystal Heart -- the name is no misnomer, it is quite literally the crystalline heart from a Dark Aether species, extracted only when exposed to extreme heat.
Strauss: When all three are submerged in an Aetherium pool, they coalesce, forging an ancient Aethereal weapon.
Strauss: The Tempered Crystal and Geode are both naturally occurring. But considering its function-driven final form, I believe the Polymorphic Crystal is manufactured by something in the Dark Aether, enabling the symbiotic relationship among the three.
Strauss: As to who created it, we may never know. But their creation speaks for itself.
