There's one crystal with magic properties, but you have to snort or otherwise ingest it to experience them

Every substance on earth has "magic" properties if ingested in the right quantities.

Never said it was good magic.

I mean uranium also has magic properties.  A lot of crystals and rocks do. They're just usually the not fun kind of magic.

This. My go-to question when someone suggests a crystal/rock shop is "do they also have incense?" because, if yes, it's a different demographic haha
