[He appreciates the enormous self-restraint Dipper has on show here. You're a good guy, dude. He does offer a tired, wry smile for his efforts.]
It's okay, I knew you'd want to know a little more. Honestly, that's about as much as we do know for their points of origin. They were powered by incantations that would make them react in certain ways. I studied them a lot and even I have to admit this is filed under unexplainable magic stuff.

Anyway. These black rocks had been showing up in my village, destroying crops and homes. I knew the princess had a connection to them, and she promised she'd help me with them, but people were starving. My village was dying and my father was hiding all of it from the king. So I...took matters into my own hands. I created a chemical compound to try and dissolve these rocks- uuuunfortunately what it did instead was create an amber solution that grew and solidified quickly, trapping anything in its path. My dad- [he hesitates, he can still see it in his minds eye, all these years later, his dad shoving him aside, saving his life] he rescued me from it and got stuck himself. I travelled to the capitol to get the princess' help, but a blizzard was raging. Uh...remember me telling you I had my own demon problems back home? Well, she caused it. It was a very dangerous blizzard that was destroying the entire kingdom. The princess... she couldn't leave to help me. I...kinda snapped at her and the guards decided I was attacking her and hauled me off into the snow. By the time I got back home...dad had already been encased in the amber, and nothing, nothing was breaking it.
