"My Lady, another memory crystal has arrived from the Azuarli Dukedom." 
I grab the tiny glass orb, feeling a smile light up my whole face. Hurriedly infusing it with a little mana, the stored memory plays before me in thin air. A baby in a cradle, fast asleep. My son - tears swell in my eyes. My fingers brush his face as the memory dissipates. Then my knees give out.
"My Lady! Are you alright?" the servants rushing to help me up flinch back at the glint in my eyes.

Of course. Memory orbs are basically video cameras so... Movies! Drama series! Theatre! 
People of this world, watch me build you a film industry.
