Tear of the Goddess

The Tear of the Goddess is a mystical gem whose origin is bound to the divine. It is said to be an actual tear shed by a celestial being, a forgotten goddess of Runeterra, and it carries that celestial character in its very nature. Far from a simple ornament, the gem is a powerful source of magical energy in its own right. What sets the Tear apart is how it responds to magic. It naturally absorbs and amplifies magical energy, and it grows stronger as its wielder channels more mana through it. The more power that is fed into the gem, the greater the reservoir it becomes, making it a font of nearly limitless magical potential for any mage able to draw upon it. Because of this property, the Tear appears across various magical traditions in Runeterra and is prized as a coveted component in arcane crafting. It has been incorporated into many other powerful artifacts, lending its amplifying nature to greater works. The gem remains active, a self-reinforcing source of magic that rewards those who continue to feed it.
