Named after the Raya Lucaria Academy that the caves sit adjacent to, this tunnel-structure dungeon features a number of Crystal Sorcerers ready to throw dangerous magic projectiles at those who enter, in addition to the Crystalian boss that will net you a healthy amount of Runes and the useful Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing [1] item after being defeated.
