As I have said before Rin magic is crystal and stone based. Although generally Females are more powerful with cyrus crystals males are far stronger with another form of crystal. The Blood crystal or the soul stone. While the other crystals cannot be created these can. Created by 'bonding' the souls of individuals to it.

Generally the bonding is forced and normally it is prisoners or heretics that are forced to bond. The ritual to bond them is called 'Blood rite'. It normally goes like this:

1. A eight pointed star is drawn into the floor

2. A circle of blood is drawn around the star

3. One victim is put at each point

4. The Rin priest invokes the name of the blood God

5. The victims soul's are drained from their bodies and placed within the crystal.

The practice has been banned in the empire but at times a crystal is once again found or a new one is created. Their is said to be only 500 in existence in the whole universe. The powers are unimaginable. They can move mountains, level cities, and cause events only the gods can invoke. The only known crystal is the emperor's personal one said to contain the thousands of soul the first emperor slayed. It has been passed down from time and memorial.
