Tuners are small crystal pillars, inscribed with numerous glyphs, and often found in the centers of towns in western Tarawn, and along widely-used trade routes.

When kept in a stable location, they can calm the adverse effects of the Wild Magic found here - the larger the Tuner, the wider the area of effect. Tuners can take on many forms, from small shrines, to signposts, to simple hunks of stone, as long as the crystal remains planted in the ground, and the glyphs remain undamaged.
