## Overview
[[Harmonic Resonance]] is generated during ritual practices and worship ceremonies. This untuned resonance is collected at a ritual altar and transmitted through magically conductive infrastructure. The resonance is then shaped, focused, and split into individual resonant streams—each corresponding to one of the seven [[Modes Overview]].
## Refinement Process
1. **Collection**
Untuned [[Harmonic Resonance]] is generated during ritual (e.g. sacrifice, prayer, or chant) and gathered at a focal point such as an altar.
2. **Transmission**
The collected resonance is transmitted through a magical medium, such as copper resonant wire, to the refinement complex.
3. **Focusing**
Resonance is directed and amplified using specially designed architectural forms (e.g. parabolic chambers) to increase clarity and stability.
4. **Raw Crystal Staging**
Energy is held in raw ritual crystal nodes to stabilize it before spectral separation.
5. **Prism Separation**
A metaphysical prism splits the harmonized resonance into seven distinct mode-aligned streams.
6. **Mode Crystal Formation**
Each stream is directed into a specially shaped and colored crystal aligned with a Resonant Mode.
## Mode Crystal Summary
| Mode | Color | Shape |
|------------|--------------|-----------|
| Dorian | Green | Triangle |
| Phrygian | Red | Diamond |
| Lydian | Light Blue | Pentagon |
| Mixolydian | Deep Blue | Hexagon |
| Ionian | White/Yellow | Heptagon |
| Aeolian | Pink | Octagon |
| Locrian | Violet | Nonagon |
These refined crystals are then stored or distributed for use in spellcasting, infrastructure enchantments, or ritual implementations.
