If the first than perhaps natural aspected manastones exist and are the basis material components for spells or how the first spells were cast.

I'd prefer to go with the first for this thread, as the second requires an advanced civilization to have created them when they didn't, and then become extinct so that a new sapient species need to evolve to use the energies that they created. The latter is way beyond the scope of this thread, though it could be an interesting (if depressing) idea for another thread if you want to make it.

Natural Aspected manastones are an interesting idea too, and do fit this thread.
