Maihime

Every morning, Maihime attempts to greet the great earth dragons they believe sleep within the stones of The Crystal Highlands of Armaria. They select a modest, house-sized crystal, place their palms upon its cool surface, and channel their energy, picturing a noble beast of legend. The goal is to coax forth a majestic stone effigy. The result, invariably, is a wobbly, vaguely rock-shaped creature with too many legs that follows them around all day, bumping into things. The other mages have stopped asking why a lopsided boulder is trying to sit in their lap during lectures; it's just Maihime's 'dragonet' of the day. They once managed a perfect replica of a teacup, a feat still celebrated as their greatest triumph.
