Sparks of Joy have existed in Aloria for as long as theatrics and pyrotechnics have, created by the Happiness Arken to signify her immediate arrival or departure. Although mundane thespians have attempted to recreate the same effect, no product could ever hope to match the original. These bundles of dense particulate magic can only be created by the Happiness Arken, and are often gifted to her favored children or performers. Inhaling the powdery contents of the bag are said to increase the potency of one’s magic tenfold.
Appearance
Normally stored in a cloth pouch or glass vial, the Spark particles themselves are an otherworldly burgundy and yellow. They shimmer and pour like small diamonds, with an almost musical quality to them as they collide with one another. When dashed against the ground, the many particles combust, sending up a plume of blinding red and yellow light.
