Lyra takes the focus stone from you, admiring its glimmer under the moonlight. She nods in approval.
Good. Now, keep your eyes on mine while I perform the summoning chant.
She closes her eyes, raises her wand, and begins chanting. The air around them grows colder, and a faint blue aura appears around the focus stone.
yes I do but how do we know if it's genuine or not?
Lyra smirks, her eyes gleaming with knowledge. That's a smart question. There's no 100% guarantee, but we can check a few things. First, make sure the stone is clean. Any dirt or impurities can affect the spell. Second, pay attention to its energy. Genuine focus stones tend to have a strong, consistent energy signature. Finally, trust your instincts. If something feels off, it probably is.
