The Half-Refined Diamond is a Collectible in Phantom & Crimson Solitaire.

Item description
All enemy units have +25% ATK, DEF, and Max HP; Gain -50% Command EXP from battles

Half of it shines radiantly in the name of art, while the other half is stained in a madder red color that signifies madness. This is the "Phantom" that the troupe leader has always dreamt of.

Full description

In casual chats between Terra's jewelers, a gemstone solitaire has been mentioned: half of it was faultless and pristine, flashing radiant under the sunlight; half was deep red as blood, not even the brightest beams able to illuminate its core. Some say it was produced in Sargon, while some instead claim it to be a Columbian's magnum opus. However, what these dabblers in the arts don't know is that no such gem exists upon this land. The first to propgate[sic] this rumor wasn't even telling of a precious gemstone, but a person, a performer, a dazzling rising star—

"Blood Diamond", Lucian.

Once upon a time, the region of Celaiblason[sic] was flooded, local areas gravely stricken by the disaster. After the flood receded, the Crimson Troupe's members fostered the orphans there that had talent in the arts, Lucian being one of them. The troupe's process in selecting the best was duly harsh, and a portion of the children taken in left the troupe for all sorts of reasons, but Lucian was always a talent favored by all, and never found himself criticized for anything by the troupe.

In order to further unlock Lucian's potential, three of the troupe's performers—"Shadow," "Bladedance" and "Whiteflower"—jointly came to mentor him. Even the troupe's leader personally instructed Lucian in singing technique, something one-of-a-kind for the Crimson Troupe. On the night awaited by all, this rising star was about to make his stage debut and formally became a member of the troupe.

Soon thereafter, a tragedy occurred.

He had long known what secrets lay behind the troupe's veil. He was ready to bear the weights of lives. On that night, he sang, and laid this organization awash with sin to utter destruction.

But what he did not know was that via his song, a grand play to span the ages was only just begun.

Effect
