Feel an intense need to rip apart the Earth with shiny Crystals of DEATH?! Hey, who doesn't? Well satisfy that urge with the Crystal Magic. Based on popular cartoons like Naruto and Batman, this series of Attacks and Defenses wields mysterious crystal shards that tear through the earth at your command. Use them for good, use them for evil. Whatever you them for, it'll be PUR-DY!

Commands:
"CrystalAttack" - Sends out a forward attack of Crystal Shards
"CrystalAttackLeft" - Blasts out Shards to your Left
"CrystalAttackRight" - Tears out Shards to your Right
"CrystalCircle" - Surrounds your avie with Crystal pillars
"CrystalFortress" - Shields your avie in Crystals
"CrystalWall" - Creates a barrier of Crystals in front of you

PLEASE NOTE: This item remains INVISIBLE until used . Therefore you will see no indication that you are wearing it until you use one of it's commands. It works with both Male and Female avies, but it's listed under Female Accessories because IMVU lacks a Uni- category. The Crystal Magic attaches to the Avie's "Root" Node. There's a limit to the number of items you can attach to any one Avatar body part, so if you add several "Root" items, like Pets for instances, the Crystal Magic might get removed. If you find the Crystal Magic not working, make certain you are still wearing it. Please use Try-It *before* you Buy-It, to ensure that it works with your current outfit. There will be NO REFUNDS if it doesn't work with your existing outfit.

Rainbow Crystals a little too girly for you? Wish the Crystal Magic had some Kick-*** Sound Effects? Well then, quite complaining and DERIVE it! Make your own version, and even sell it the catalog for a small markup over my original, and keep the extra profits for yourself! You can express yourself AND earn credits at the same time. How's that for a sweet deal? You'll need a full account on IMVU, as well as a copy of Previewer. You can find out more about Deriving on the IMVU's Education Center. Below is the template you'll need to get started (Right Click and Save As to your computer):

This is the Texture map used for the Crystals. It's simply a faded spectrum map, setup so the top and bottom, and left and right, all match. Since the object uses tiled textures, it's important that whatever you use to replace it have matching sides. If you don't, you will see lines moving through your Crystals. Make certain that the top and bottom, end and start, the same way. Do the same with the Left and Right:

This is the Opacity layer. Treat it like a photo-negative silhouette of what was painted on the Texture map above. In this sample image, I used a simple Solid Gray image, but you can use this to exercise alot of control over the Crystal's appearance. For instance, if you used a Fire texture on the Crystals, you could make an Opacity image where the brightest parts of the Fire were white, and the darkest parts were Black. This would make the dark parts completely transparent. Color is not used in Opacity, so only use shades of Black and White for your Opacity layer. Remember, the brighter your white, the more solid that part of the Crystal becomes:

To add sound, I highly recommend you download and use Audacity. It's a free sound editing tool that can export out OGG sound files. OGG sound files compress down to less then 1/10th the file size of WAV files. SO USE OGG FILES!!! You can download it here:
