A flavour-driven entry to Challenge # 081, inspired by Jack's Pit Miner's Charm. Somewhat astonishingly, Magic hasn't yet had a charm with mana cost {1}{u}.

I tried to think of a Magic-y word with flavour specific enough to inspire mechanics but not so specific it only associates with one mechanic. This is associating "crystal" with prismatic effects and Crystal Spray; artifacts such as Crystal Rod; and making creatures hard to target a la Crystalline Sliver. Some scry a la Crystal Ball would have also been good, but it's already pretty wordy.

Ah! I'd forgotten the future sight charms varied in mana cost, I think all the others are in tight cycles, so I didn't realise some 1C costs were still available :)
