Its was discovered on the continent of Elaria in deep underground Ulcromite Caverns discovered by the farmers of the region.
After its discovery magic users from the world over came to study the glowing stones, and all but one named Rohb Hugo, a Grung Wizard, left having concluding the stones had no inherent magical value. It is not known by what methods, but Rohb continued to study the stones and learned how to successfully imbue the stones with power that lead to almost every discovery derived from the stones in conjuntion with inventors, scientist and technologist who provided the machines that could direct this new source of near infinite energy and power.

Interior lighting, rudimentary aqueducts and plumbing, Logcasters, protective barriers as well as many other advancements in war. The most valuable stones on the market, a very limited amount were imbued with combat spells and acted as a way for anyone to cast powerful magic attacks, but could only be used once before returning to its unpowered state. Research is still ongoing deep with The Spire, with rumors swirling about prisoner experiments using Ulcromite at The Moss Tower, so the full extent of their use and power is still unknown.
