Capture Crystal

Capture Crystal are arcane crystals used to tame Pokémon, a critical item used on one's journey. Crystals are used to capture the spirit of a Pokémon by touching them, but they may resist capture. They also are used to release the Pokémon when the master wishes. These items have multiple variations, and often induce a calming effect on Pokémon when nearby. Inside each crystal is its own pocket dimension, with an ideal habitat created for the Pokémon when stored inside the crystal. For example, a Bushlope's Crystal may have a pocket dimensions resembling a wide, open field.

Capture Crystals are fairly controversial in Albion due to their esoteric nature. They were presented to the court of Albion by members of the Order of the Viromotis years after the Albionian Holy Wars over 300 years ago. These crystals were scarce, taking extreme precautions to mine. Since then, the Arceusist Church opposes the use of crystals, where paladins use ancient taming techniques used for millennia. The prevalence and availability of the crystal commodity varies upon whether the ruling house of an area is more influence by the Order, or the Church.
