Details[]

Gathering nine of these blue jewels is said to increase the limit of
one's physical endurance.

These jewels are counted in the order of the nine symbols of the
Kuji-In, or Nine Syllable Seals, which is a mantra that has been
used for ages to protect against and ward off evil. The order is
as follows:
Rin (臨), Byo (兵), To (闘), Sha (者), Kai (皆), Chin (陣),
Retsu (列), Zai (在), Zen (前).

The jewels are shaped like billiard balls, highly polished and
perfectly spherical, and can be found hidden throughout the world.
Numerous theories struggle to explain their origin. Some suggest
they are Dragon drops formed from crystallized Dragon
secretions that fell to earth. Others claim that they are the
polished remains of a Dragon's bezoar. Neither theory is backed
up by concrete evidence. The crystalline structure of the jewels
suggest the Dragon drop theory, but many researchers doubt this
hypothesis due to the estimated age of the jewels derived from
the half-life of the Neptunium 236 found in large amounts within
them.
