Battle Ground??

I found myself wondering how that would work. The one ascension ritual that Harry knows involves necromancy, and absorbing the life of ghosts and other undead spirits. I'm fairly sure there aren't many dead people in the island.
Perhaps there is another ritual that only involves "spirit" power, and I'd guess that either the spirit of the island--or Alfred--would suffice. However, I'd think that sucking the power from either would be counterproductive to the Warden's responsibilities. And I'm pretty sure that Alfred would...quibble.
Then there is the fact that if the Warden were to ascend to godhood, he'd probably find himself opposed by thirty or forty beings of the same power level. Not to mention all of the "lesser" beings.
I suspect that someone, somewhen here has calculated just how many could be imprisoned every few feet in twelve tunnels a "mile or two" long.
After all, I recall that someone did make a good estimate of just what Harry's share of the diamonds was actually worth!

Or it uses the crystal to suck the power right out of the prisoners?
That'd turn the user a lot darker, but also very powerful and yet safe.

Large enough that a box of them, NOT moving, isn't mistaken for any other small crystals.
Is that helpful?
And absolutely top quality, because Hades.

As to the first part, I have no idea if that is helpful. I agree with the second part. With some of the higher calculations I saw, Harry's share was probably enough to crash the global market, what with diamond prices being high only because of the diamond cartel and what's probably the most successful marketing campaign in history. But with what the Church Mouse, whose name I can't remember, said, I can't imagine they are worth that much. I.e., not enough to noticeably effect the 82 billion dollar industry.
With what Nicodemus said about the $20 million, I imagine one of the boxes was probably worth at least 10 million.
