How many crystals illuminate light by itself? It is a too common trope found in any sci-fi and fantasy setting. I think crystals should refract light that hits them dispersing the rainbow from a prism quarts or filtering green from an emerald. This could also play into mirrors as well.

reflecting light...this seems as if it could be a neat mechanic for bouncing lasers back at enemies but what else might you use it for?
Could be a Dungeon puzzle. Maybe the dungeon have an EMP Field, so your electrical devices will not work. And the only way to get some light, is to move and turn mirrors to light up the corridors.
Could be used for Brushing teeth, making one self more socially appealing, or even turning Medusa to stone. A wide variety of features, and of course a good idea.
You are the first person I've seen mention EMP these past few months and not say EMP Pulse. Congratulations. ON TOPIC : I'd like some crystals that absorb surronding light, reducing the effectiveness of close light sources.
Oh man, I can just imagine walking into a pitch black cave filled with these "mirroring" crystals only to see the many reflections of a monster! Gives me chills already ;D
i hadnt thought of this but what if some monsters that spawn in cave systems only, knew how to ambush using crystals as cover and letting you ruin crystals you otherwise could mine, trying to flush it out. if you start mining then it would jump out and hit you for extra damage or move closer to you via crystal cover, also what if you hit one crystal with light that reflected a rainbow of color onto all the other crystals, it would be like a rave in there THE MONSTERS ATRE TRIPPIN BALLS MAN! *up-votes with gusto*
One word. Atmosphere. Go take a look at Knytt. The whole damn game is built around that guy's masterful use of atmosphere.
