Homebrew Crystal Warforged Species Details

Hundreds of years ago, thousands upon thousands of Warforged were created to battle for their land. However, the automaton ranks soon dwindled, as it was very difficult to find a reliable source for energy. Eventually, one artificer came up with the idea to utilize the energy from his planet's sun to power the mechanical warriors by refracting them through enchanted crystals. In fact, the crystals gave some of these new Warforged the ability to wield magic. In the present day, those remaining of these vast armies reside alongside other races.
