Gaethzen is a material that acts as a magical light sources powered by mana. You use them almost exactly as you use Cambrinth items, however instead of getting your mana back, you get light instead! A light source becomes very handy if you're going into a dark area and need to be able to see your way around.

Gaethzen items are extremely fragile. If you DROP them, they will shatter. LOWER GROUND for a hands free light source. They are also like Cambrinth in that they become attuned to whatever magic they were first charged with. So if you as an Empath charge it with Life Magic, then give it to a Cleric, who tries to charge it with Holy Magic, it will 'explode' and become temporarily disabled. Gaethzen can be retuned, just like Cambrinth, which is also how it is re-enabled.
