Crystals and gemstones play a key part in witchcraft. A Crystal strengthens a Witch's Magic, without consumming its own. On the contrary, when a Crystal is used by a witch stripped of his or her power, it can successfully cast any spell, but consumming its own magic ressources. It is known to be a reflection of a witch and allows them to use magic more easily than with a Circle, due to its additions of personalities and attitudes. A Crystal can also detect if someone is lying, and if someone is, the Crystal would turn black.
A Crystal also has the power to detect, ward off and weaken demons
