((I figure there’s a certain process you need to go through to, in essence, take a cutting from a big crystal and still have a usable crystal. If you damage either the originating crystal or the cutting too much it becomes inert and useless. I imagine there have been many instances of towns or other settlements getting screwed over because someone accidentally broke the main protective crystal during maintenance or while trying to take a cutting for small-scale protection.

It would presumably have been a fairly regular occurrence in the early days post-cataclysm, because no one would have even known that there were proper techniques to be used.))
