No worries, I know all too well the evils of addictions to online gaming (I lost alot of friends to WoW )

As for the crystals... I'll see if I can come up with something. I may need to read your theory of Ivalice again (don't worry, I know where to find it) I may have to start a new game of FFTA, so I can remember everything about how they did the crystals... Though I was wondering if foreign powers would have their own Totema and this may be the answer I'm looking for.
