Solar crystals are actually small receiver and transmitter units that are connected through a dimensional tunnel to each other. Through this tunnel energy can be sent. A crystal is grown and then sliced in half, the two halfs being forever linked. The term "Solar Crystal" is a misnomer, any type of energy can be transmitted through the crystal pairs. For the Solar Net two types of crystals are used. On that transmits pure solar energy (Type A) and one that transmits various types of mystical energy (Type B).

The Type A crystal pictured in the upper left part of the page is used to collect and transmit the solar rays of the sun. One half of the crystal is in orbit around the sun and the other half is embeded into the dwarven steel link. Since the energy transmitted by the sun is so strong the dimensional tunnel turns on and off to prevent energy overload. This is why the crystal pulsates rather than remains steady.
The Type B crystal pictured in the upper right part of the page is used to collect mystical energy from within the net. Half of the crystal is embeded into the dwarven steel link and the other half is located deep within a valley on the planet Mars. Mars is a dead planet and a natural drain for mystical energy. Any mystical energy, even just the aura from a mystical creature is enough to set off the energy drain. So if you have a captive in the net and the Type B crystals are pulsing you can be certain the captive has mystical powers or is mystical in nature. Mystical energy is dragged through the crystals to the planet and grounded there. The dimensional tunnel between the two halfs of the crystal is kept open and will always have a slightly red glow in its center.
