Or if you're giving them disadvantage you simply use the crystal when casting the spell but you can only use one crystal per turn. When you use a crystal if it hits a creature it will imbed in the creature and give you a plus equal to half a trickery die roll rounded down to successive spell attacks. If a creature with an imbedded jade crystal dies you may pick up that crystal with a bonus action provided you are within 120 feet of it.
