Wali is one of a class of beings which can be induced to help people in their work and thus make them more efficient than their competitors. The two large crystals are male and female, they haev begotten the smaller ones. The lump "Grows" and the smaller crystals are pushed off in pairs or singly and become independent Walis. A Wali becomes your familiar when he or she appears to you in human form in a dream and offers to help you. If you assent he tells you to go to the waterside and pick up what you find there. You will find the crystals lying in shallow water, take them home with you. A Wali must be fed when you wish him to help you in a particular task. His fare is the male tthek, a large blue lizard with a red head. It is cooked with rice, laid on a plate, and the Wali put on the plate beside it. A Wali can be acquired by buying one or more of the "young" crystals from the owner of a cluster.
