A stone charged with magical energy at the top floor of New Moon Tower. It gathers diluted and weakened magic and makes the use of magic at Luna Nova possible. It's area of effect is restricted to within Luna Nova.
Blytonbury and beyond is outside of its range, so to cast spells, small magic stones are used to store magic like a battery. However, output is low and many successive or strong spells are unable to be used.

—Description of The Sorcerer's Stone from Witchpedia[1]


A Sorcerer's Stone (魔導石 Madō-seki?) is a magical artifact with the capacity to absorb and store magical energy from the Ley Lines. They are used in places where witches live, such as Luna Nova Magical Academy, as a source of power so that witches can use their magic freely.

Description

The Sorcerer's Stone is a large, bright mint-green stone that continually shines through the magical energy contained in it. Its function is to store raw magical energy and then re-emitting it in a refined form usable by witches so that the witches can use their magic without any restrictions. In the past, witches were not reliant on the Sorcerer's Stone to use magic, as the cosmic Yggdrasil tree allowed unlimited use of magic anywhere, but ever since the Yggdrasil tree withered away, magic began to weaken, making its use virtually impossible. Afterward, the use of Sorcerer's Stones became necessary in order for the magic to be usable.

The range of effect of the Sorcerer's Stone is very wide, particularly if placed on structure with considerable height. Outside the effect range, witches are limited to using the energy contained in their magic wands. However, since its power reserve is low, magic can not be used consistently. Even though the invention of Magic Battery gives slight leverage in using magic in areas where magic cannot be used, this problem eventually solved with the implementation of the ley line routers.

About 90% of the energy of Luna Nova's stone is used by the witches, while the other 10% is directed to the Faeries who deal with the maintenance of the academy.

Trivia

  • Sorcerer's Stone was arguably named after alternate moniker of the titular artifact Harry sought in American release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone novel.
    • Philosopher's Stone, also known as Stone of the Philosophers (Latin: lapis philosophorum), on the other hand, is a legendary alchemical substance capable of turning base metals into gold and/or silver. It is also able to extend one's life and is often called the Elixir of Life, useful for rejuvenation and for achieving immortality; for many centuries, it was the most sought-after goal in alchemy.
      • It must be stressed however, that Sorcerer's Stone and Philosopher's Stone are separate artifacts since the former was designed to absorb and distribute magic from Ley Lines as well as can be mass-produced, a contrast to the latter which very difficult to create befitting to its wondrous properties.
