Meteorites which have been falling from the sky are composed of rock and metal. The metal is a mixture of iron, nickel, and tungsten. On occasion, the meteorite will house Stella Parabia, crystals which hold strange power.
Stella Parabia:
Crystals formed of pure essentia, they can be used by any who hold them. They have the shape of a standard quartz crystal between 2 to 6 inches, and within there is a dull rainbow light. Size does not affect how they work, and all are one time use against a spell. Upon a strong enough elemental feeding upon them, they will release some latent power which transforms plants, animals, and to a lesser extent, people.
The crystals excite elementals, and if they are bound to an object, will refuse to work until the distraction is gone.
In groups exceeding fifty, juvenile elementals will be able to sense them, and will seek them out. They will wreak havoc to gain these sources of power.
If the holder of the crystal is attacked with magic, it will force that mage’s spell to fail and will go inert. Effects Arcane and Divine Magic of Adept level and below equivalent. The crystal's area of effect is 1b- ie, whoever the holder of the crystal is. Anything around them is effected (like fire blasts, stone walls, etc), but they- themselves- will not be directly affected by a spell of both arcane/divine, and if they use a spell themselves while holding it, the crystal will consume it (arcane), or burst from it (divine). This is not a ward- so it cannot prevent against anyone's passive spells (divine/arcane).
After the crystal is used up, the light dies. The crystal remains as a dark and smokey husk with a pearlescent sheen.
Mutations on Humans:
The effect this energy released when an elemental is minuscule compared to the effect on plants and animals. If anyone approaches to close as an elemental is consuming, they will suffer burns and welts on their skin which increase in severity the closer they get. Should those without magical or divine protection dare to come closer, they will receive a crystalline streak of hair which will grow out after some time.
Mutations on Animals:
The effect of the energy released dramatically affects plants and animals. In the case of animals, several new species can be made from this wild energy. In general, animals will increase in size and lose all pigment in their skin or fur. They will become generally hostile, and sometimes suffer other afflictions of mutation.
Mutations on Plants:
As severe as the energy can be on animals, plants are affected severely as well. Natural forms become twisted, leaves die, and sometimes plants will seem to gain minds of their own, becoming carnivorous and hostile toward those who draw too close. There is no set standard for how any plant will react to exposure to this energy.
