Magical Mustika Pearls
Magickal Mustika pearls or Bezoar stones are formed in the body of an animal or plant by an elemental spirit that has made its home there. They are rare and only found in wild places of high elemental energy. The elemental spirit will have found an affinity with a particular animal or plant, in much the same way a shaman does, and will then form a symbiotic relationship with its host. The elemental will live in the animal or plant for many years, and its presence gradually forms the Mustika Pearls. When the animal or plant dies, the elemental is still bound to the pearl, and now seeks to form a new magickal alliance, so it will call to any shaman in the area sensitive enough to hear the call. During its time in the body of the animal or plant, the elemental will have taken on many of the powers of its host. It is most likely to call to a shaman who has experience with the same species, and is ready to use its power.
It is a common practice in shamanism to journey to the underworld to meet a power animal, and then to take a vision quest to receive guidance and gifts from the spirit world.
