Description	Target trees, mining locations and fishing spots will make them crystallised, meaning you get increased xp for gathering from it, but no resources. Target empty box traps to automatically catch and release creatures, yielding no resources. This effect will last for 30 seconds.

Crystallise is a Seren spell unlocked by The Light Within. It is a skilling spell that locks a skilling node to increase experience at the cost of preventing resource yield. While Woodcutting and Fishing, experience gain is increased by 50%, this can be further increased to 87.5% by activating the Light Form prayer. While Mining the experience gain is increased by 20%, or 40% with Light Form, but this only works on core rocks. While Hunting, experience is increased by 10% (20% with Light Form), and the box trap will automatically reset.

The bonus does stack with bonus experience and experience-boosting equipment, but not with the Furnace perk from Invention. It can be used with Mining, Woodcutting, and Fishing spots, or empty Hunter box traps.

The crystallised resource will last 30 seconds from the time the spell is cast, not from when you engage with the resource. This means that the spell will wear off whether you engage with the resource in those 30 seconds or not. If another player is using the same resource node, it will deplete as normal, but the Crystallise spell's effect and timer will "pause" until the node refills. If a Fishing spot moves, the spell will move with it.

The crystallise spell will override the auto-burning benefits of Superheat Form while Woodcutting. Chopped logs will go towards the crystallise spell and no Firemaking experience will be granted.

Once the spell has worn off you will collect one of the resource as you would if you had not cast the spell. This does not apply when mining.
