You enchant a small crystal with large amounts of energy. You may choose what type of damage this spell will deal when released, and this choice will affect the color of the crystal after the ritual is completed.
Some damage types can do certain things when not being used. Some damage types will cause additional effects when discharged. All damage types do 4d6 of that damage type. All crystals made will have five charges, and do not use a spell slot. Every minute above five that energy is channeled into the crystal will add another charge. If the crystal is destroyed before all charges are used, it will explode, dealing 5d8 damage of whatever type was chosen.
