Lore
Aquanite is a rare gemstone pulsing with magical tides. It is often found in complex geometrical shapes, requiring very little shaping, unlike other gems (ever seen an unprocessed diamond?), which helps contain the energy. It can be found in extremely rare deposits deep under the ocean. When combined with other dense materials, its energy can flow greatly, drawing upon the forces of Byatis to warp the surrounding area (usually too small to be noticed, because that doesn't actually happen in-game).
