{{Yeah, I thought the description didn't match the image at all! I was wondering. xD Mine looks pretty much as seen there, and yeah, I don't do one liners unless it's that type of rp. But, haha, I haven't been in that type of rp for years now.}}

Anuli nodded when he held out the crystal. That was indeed what she was asking about, but he seemed to be struggling with words. Either a.) he didn't know the name of the crystal, or b.) he was being secretive about the spell he was casting.

"Metaphysics? Like the philosophy as coined by Aristotle largely revolving around questions about existence?" Anuli asked, raising her eyebrow. With how little she knew about crystals, it was likely that they just took the name the late great philosopher had used.

Philosophy was too subjective for her taste, moreso than English or the other humanities, but she understood it.
