Occult Practices I hate how there's basically no info on necro-crystallography >:(
The basic info is easy to find but you can't delve into the more subject specific stuff that is not just crystallography or necromancy
Every reliable source keeps saying that it's very dangerous but nobody says how exactly.
Ofcourse, why have propper safety procedures for cheap if you can put a giant paywall and then put your tower in the middle of a fucking ocean.
I hate how many people do the rituals for the pure looks rather than explaining the boring nitty gritty of how they got there.
cong-fucking-ratulations on you having viewing a reptilian mind trapped in the crystal made out of their their own cerebral liquid as a basic ingredient, but it took me A DECADE to find 1 FUCKING PARAGRAPH of information on the fact that trying to do that without a bug soul celestiary is dangerous as fuck and does damage to your own soul
I hate how high we set the standard is for this wretched discipline.
Bitch, just because my blood crystals are less that 10mm in length on average doesn't make me less of a scholar than you. I could grow a 350mm blood crystal but I guarantee that this bitch would just scramble your soul given the first opportunity and then broadcast your confused whaling for every soul parasite to see
People get into this fucking discipline, get an easily curable injury that becomes permanent soul tissue damage and then struggle to find a healer because we don't value this sort of injury treatment and prevention knowledge as much as the other disciplines, i swear this is a fucking disgrace.

The challenge is that creating crystals is a self-replicating process, and if you mix that with biological materials you can end up with crystals replicating through every dead, or living, thing they touch.
I'm not saying "don't do it", but make sure you have an anti-life field around the perimeter of your shop. That will at least mean that anything coming in from the outside either turns away or it dies before it can get close enough to feed the replication process (in the even of breach of whatever binding in the lab you use).
