Yes it does exist and no it is not OP as you will soon see.

Rin 'magic' is centered around the cyrus crystal. A strange and valuable mineral only found in the Rin home system. The crystal in Rin myth is said to be infused with one of the old spirits (ala'bianco). The crystal allows the user to connect with others minds, project images, show the future, ect. But they have limitations. The crystal requires living energy thus the user will be drained of energy the more they use it, and on top of that females are the most powerful magic users in Rin society, thus males only get little rings that can only do basic task like project images or to store memories of a fallen comrade.

How the memory keeping work's is like this. The subject willingly gives up his mind to the crystal thus becoming part of it. This is used to keep the memories and wisdom of dead emperors or great generals alive. For example emperor Augustus is said to have had this done becoming something of a god to the people.

Although Non-Rin can never get them to work they are still very valuable meaning only upper class Rin have them. But when they do get them they put them into jewelry. For example necklaces, bracelets, rings, and ear rings.

The Bigger the crystal the more powerful it is. Thus the beacon crystals or the seeing crystals take over 50 Rin to activate them.

The Seeing crystal is a large crystal within the emperors palace it allows the emperor to see his whole realm at once or to zoom in and look at certain worlds.

Beacons are used to announce either war or a new emperor. They when activated produce a huge beam of light so bright it is visible even in other galaxies.

the Most powerful magic users known to Rin are the Druids and the empress. Both have their own powers and abilities normally kept from the public eye.
