Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

Unfortunately, you still don't know how to use the crystal. "Good" intentions and staring at it intensely can only bring you so far. But you can surreptitiously survey the village for those down on their luck!

This fares better. You don't do anything too specific; instead, you opt to simply prowl about in the sidelines and hope you don't stand out too much.
You only find one person with your generalized plan: a beggar. One that doesn't seem to actually get anything from their begging and is forced to survive off of scraps that they find. He appears to be in his... thirties? Not a specimen of peak physical health either way, as his poor living conditions have clearly taken much from his body. He hangs around more highly trafficked areas and it's undeniable that many villagers see him routinely. Despite this, not a single person paid any attention to the poor man. At night, he retreats to a well-worn makeshift abode between buildings.

This observation was all done from a respectable distance. Physically abducting him would likely pose little to no risk, but that's not the only option if you wish to.. improve him. Somehow.


Spoiler: You (click to show/hide)
As far as you know, nobody has noticed or otherwise paid much attention to you yet. Though continuing skulking in the shadows wordlessly would most likely prove suspicious eventually. Otherwise, you have a potential candidate for the crystal. Still need to figure out how to use it, though.

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

What’s its shape? Maybe shards of it need to be implanted into the host?

Split the crystal in half and give one half to the man

There's only one of it, so I'd strongly recommend not shattering it.

..so maybe something that doesn't consume the crystal.

Try shining a light through the crystal, or putting it in a glass of water.  Do either of them have any noticeable effect?

Try chanting poetry or scripture at it while imagining old memories.
