Dormant Crystal is a projectile spell that spawns a solid pink crystal that falls to the ground. It explodes if it takes enough damage or Explosive Detonator is used.

Dormant Crystal With Trigger is a trigger variant of the spell which activates the trigger when the crystal explodes.

When the crystal explodes, heavy explosion damage is dealt. Both variants have 20 uses.

Trivia

• The extra action needed to make full use of this spell means that you will have to more or less dedicate 2 wands just for this effect alone. This is unless you set both in sequence with the crystal before the detonation spell on a non-shuffle wand. Bear in mind that wands reset when deselected and will start from the first spell in the chain again.
• You can, however, combine Unstable Crystals with it in a multicast for more destructive power in a single proximity-triggered attack.
• Kills caused by the explosion count as trick kills.
• Combining Chaotic Transmutation with a dormant crystal, can create a useful tool for transforming materials. Each cast will create a crystal with a different effect. This crystal can be moved around the world with a kuu.
• Casting many Crystals can be used as a setup step for a Spells To Power wand build.
• While Dormant Crystal With Trigger's name and graphic suggests that it is a Trigger spell, it is actually an Expiration Trigger. Using Add Trigger with Dormant Crystal will give the normal behavior of Trigger spells; this trigger will release the payload every time it hits an enemy and does not deactivate on collision with enemies, but does appear to deactivate on collision with terrain.
• Combined with Homing and Boomerang, will hover close to enemies but cut off a straight line of fire, doubling as a shield.
