With Hextech gemstones being able to be wielded safely by people, it could then be used to power up portable hextech devices. Jayce and his partner Viktor were able to refine these crystals and turn them into Hextech gemstones-small, sphere shaped crystals (similar in appearance to blue marbles) that could endure great amounts of impact without reacting violently. In Arcane universe, hextech crystals are shown to be extremely volatile and widely explode from just a little bit of impact. Piltover and Zaun are the most tuned into this technology, but have vastly differing motives. As such, each item of hextech is a unique artifact of rare beauty, a bespoke creation that will likely have taken years to craft. The process of crafting hextech is a closely guarded secret, and no two artificers work to the same methodology. Hextech devices have runes inscribed on them when the runes are coupled with the power of the hextech gemstones, it gives the device its magical properties. It is capable of amazing feats, from powering machinery to creating beams of light capable of cutting the strongest steel. Hextech's power is limited only by the imagination of their users. Its widespread use led to the creation of the Hexgates, a realm warping device able to transport airships across Runeterra in an instant. In the Arcane universe, Hextech is a fairly new innovation for its setting, created by two aspiring inventors Viktor and Jayce. Furthermore, it was only through espionage, intimidation, and murder that Clan Ferros held its monopoly on this priceless commodity, and ensured its uninterrupted production in Zaun, maintaining the family’s place in Piltover's illustrious Bluewind Court. Yet there were consequences-synthetic crystal manufacturing has long been rumored to heavily contribute to the Zaun Gray. Utilizing shadow investments in chemtech and runic alchemy, they developed less powerful, but easier to make, synthetic hex-crystals. The brackern were a limited resource, and Ferros Clan had to augment the crystals they’d accumulated. Medarda Clan would directly fund the widespread use of Hextech, as well as incorporating it in the Sun Gates. Its overal use and application would be a closely guarded secret of select few clans, some of its members even augmenting their bodies in order to wield the powers of the crystals. These hex-crystals-or “first crystals”-contained power normally only wielded by those born with innate magical ability. The origin of hextech can be traced back to the early 900s AN, where wealthy Piltover Mercantile Clans harvested rare crystals from the Brackern, a creature native to Shurima.
