The Aetheryte Shard is a small, crystalline fragment pulsating with aetheric energy, resembling a piece of a larger Aetheryte. It features a geometric, prismatic shape with smooth, polished surfaces that catch and refract light, creating a luminous glow. The core emits a soft, blue-violet hue, with intricate, glowing runes etched into its surface, symbolizing its connection to the aetherial network.
