Reginald quickly turned and led the others down the narrow passage. The light was dim, but bright enough to avoid tripping on the rough flagstone floor. “Faster,” growled Kurn, “they are gaining on us.” Reginald stopped at the dead end, an air of calm determination on his face. The others skidded to a stop around him. “So where’s the secret door?” asked Gwen. The rogue turned to Ariss, who shook her head. If the Elf didn’t see a secret door, there wasn’t one here. Gwen turned an accusing eye on Reginald. “You’ve led us into a dead end!” she exclaimed. The others stirred, agitated by her words. The barbarian Kurn started to pull his waraxe. “No, my dear,” deadpanned Reginald. He was being more aloof than normal, a trait which did not endear the sorcerer to the other members of his party. “I have led our pursuers into a trap.” He rummaged in his robes for something. “Trap?” yelled Gwen. “Our cleric is dead and we are being chased by five vampires and you’ve led us to a bloody dead end!” The sound of laughter filled the far end of the small corridor as the leader of the vampires and her four companions walked up the hall. “My, my,” she said. “I couldn’t have done better myself at trapping you pesky intruders. I shall enjoy feeding upon you.” “The only dead end here, my dear Gwen, is theirs.” Reginald smiled at the rogue and pulled out a small golden disk as he stepped forward. Without giving the vampires a chance to react he flourished the disk, a small piece of pyrite, which flashed in the dim torchlight. The corridor brightened as a beam of golden light speared down the corridor. Screams rose from the throats of the five vampires and were suddenly cut short. As the light faded, a fine mist of dust floated in the air where the vampires once stood. “Well I think we’ve brightened their day,” Reginald quipped. “Shall we continue our little expedition?” Without looking back, Reginald tucked the pyrite back into his robe and deftly walked back down the corridor, careful to not let the hem of his robes touch the remains of the five undead. Scholars and wizards of great renown have proven that the gems and minerals that make up the very heart of the world hold untapped power. Each mineral, they have shown, holds a natural magic within its crystalline structure waiting to be unlocked. The science of harnessing gems and minerals has come a long way from the earliest days of the skill. When the skill was new, harnessing a gem was more art than science. Today, wizards spend hours pouring through tomes on geology and mineralogy to better understand the mineral they are working on. The process to unlock the magical potential in new minerals is one of careful research and experimentation. Luck still plays a part,

but as the science of mineralogy caught up with the magical arts, the wizards began to understand the reasons for the early failures of their forebears. Each mineral has a unique crystalline structure. Jewelers have long known this and use their knowledge to cut the facets into gemstones. However, beneath this first order structure lays a hidden second order structure that can only be identified through careful study and research. This second order structure is the key to unlocking the natural magic within all gems and minerals. Once this second order structure is identified, a wizard skilled in gem cutting can work the mineral, shaving off the non-magical burden, leaving behind what some wizards call the ‘true form’ of the mineral, the magical heart. This process is called harnessing and it can be a tedious exercise. The rewards are worth the effort, however, as the wizard is able to harness the natural magic of the mineral, turning a mundane piece of the earth into an object of magical wonder. Some wizards, those not skilled or learned enough in the ways of gem cutting and harnessing, have been able to copy the effects of the naturally harnessed minerals. True purveyors of the science of harnessing gems consider these created items to be second-rate knock-offs. While the wizards may debate among themselves, the adventurers don’t seem to mind. This book is the second volume in a series of books that detail the many different gems and minerals and the benefits that they provide when their magic is harnessed.

New Feats Harness Gem [Item Creation] You can unlock the natural magic found within gems and minerals. Prerequisites: Caster level 5th, Craft Wondrous Item, Skill Focus: Craft (Gem cutting) Benefit: You can unlock the natural magical properties from gems and minerals by making a Craft (Gem cutting) skill check. Unlocking the natural magic of a gem takes one day for each 500 gp in its base price and a Craft (Gem cutting) skill check. (The minimum time to harness a gem is 1 day.) The DC of the skill check varies based upon the gem or mineral being harnessed. If the skill check fails, the gem or mineral is ruined and the attempt to harness the gem fails. To harness a magical gem, you must spend 1/25 of its base price in XP. A harnessed gem has a market value half of the regular market value had a spell caster of the same level created the item (not including the cost of the gem), due to the natural magical energy being released from within the mineral instead of being cast into it. A mineral will only appear as a magical item after it has been harnessed; prior to harnessing, the mineral does not radiate any magical auras. Mineral Attunement [General] You have an uncanny feel for the first and second order structures found in gems and minerals. Benefit: You receive a +2 bonus on any Appraise, Craft, or Knowledge skill checks involving gems and minerals.

Mineral Entries Each mineral entry lists the name of the mineral needed to harness the magical item and that items common name. The entry includes a description of the item, short histories when appropriate, and a description of the items function. Each entry then includes the magic aura the item gives off, the minimum caster level needed to harness the item, and the prerequisites needed. A market price is also listed, and this price includes the value of the gem or mineral listed in the prerequisites. In addition, each entry also includes optional information needed for those who want to craft the item from normal magical means rather than harnessing the natural magic of the mineral.

Agate Lightning Stone: The magical properties of agate have been known to a limited number of civilizations for a long time, though nearly all of these civilizations have been destroyed or consumed by other civilizations. Because of this, the true power of agates remained obscured by legend and myth. Several researchers across the planet re-discovered agate magic around the same time. When a piece of agate is carved into the shape of a lightning bolt with three ‘jags’ in it the magic within the mineral is harnessed. When the wearer speaks the command word as a free action, the wearer acts as though effected by the haste spell. This effect can be activated up to three times per day by the command word ‘Mazahs’ and lasts for 6 rounds per activation. Moderate Transmutation; CL 6th; Prerequisites: Agate worth at least 250 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Carving) DC 20; Harnessed Market Value: 9,950 gp. Optional – Moderate Transmutation; CL 6th; Prerequisites: Agate worth at least 250 gp, Craft Wondrous Item, haste; Created Market Value: 19,650 gp.

Alabaster Ghost Gem: Alabaster is a soft mineral often carved into pottery or gemstones. Most alabaster has slight impurities but only the purest specimens can become a ghost gem. Carved into a flat egg-shape, the gem is pure white with an ethereal translucence when held up to the light. When a ghost gem is broken in half the natural magic is released, and the bearer of the gem becomes ethereal.

An ethereal creature is invisible, insubstantial, and capable of moving in any direction, even up or down, albeit at half normal speed. As an insubstantial creature, you can move through solid objects, including living creatures. An ethereal creature can see and hear on


6

the Material Plane, but everything looks gray and ephemeral. Sight and hearing onto the Material Plane are limited to 60 feet. Force effects and abjurations affect an ethereal creature normally. An ethereal creature can’t attack material creatures, and spells you cast while ethereal affect only other ethereal things. This ethereal state lasts for 10 minutes. If you become material while inside a material object (such as a solid wall), you are shunted off to the nearest open space and take 1d6 points of damage per 5 feet that you do travel. Strong Transmutation; CL 13th; Prerequisites: Alabaster gem worth at least 500 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Gem Cutting) DC 15; Harnessed Market Value: 2775 gp. Optional – Strong Transmutation; CL 13th; Prerequisites: Alabaster gem worth at least 500 gp, Craft Wondrous Item, ethereal jaunt; Created Market Value: 5050 gp.

Amber Spirit Amber: Carving a single piece of amber to resemble a flame or other sinuous form harnesses one of the magical properties of amber. When the natural magic has been harnessed, the amber increases the wearer’s spirit, granting a +1 sacred bonus to both attack and damage rolls against all opponents. The spirit amber is usually worn as a necklace, but can also be set as a jewel in a weapon, sewn into clothing, or made into other jewelry. If set into a weapon the spirit amber still grants its magical bonus even when the weapon is not used, but if the weapon is no longer in the persons possession, the bonus is lost until the weapon is again held or carried. Faint Transmutation; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Amber worth at least 100 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Gem cutting) DC 15; Harnessed Market Price: 5,100 gp. Optional – Faint Transmutation; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Amber worth at least 100 gp, Craft Wondrous Item, magic weapon; Created Market Price: 10,100 gp.

Swarm Amber: Amber is sometimes found with insects or small lizards trapped within the golden gem. Druids and keen observers of nature know that these insects and animals get into the amber when the sap from a tree entraps the animal. The first wizards to harness amber with these insect inclusions understood this, and also understood that some of the life essence of the trapped animal still remained. By carving the amber into highly polished spheres and

highlighting the trapped animal they were able to harness the gems natural magic. When the harnessed gem is hurled to the ground a swarm of the creature that was trapped in the amber is set loose. This swarm of creatures immediately attacks the nearest living creature and then moves in a random direction after that. The swarm has all the characteristics of a swarm listed in the MM. The person who hurled the swarm amber has no control over the swarm. The swarming creatures remain for 5 rounds and then


7

disappear. The swarm amber gemstone is not affected. A swarm can only be summoned from the gemstone once per day. Faint Conjuration; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Amber with insect or animal inclusion worth at least 250 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Gem cutting) DC 15; Harnessed Market Price: 8,250 gp. Optional – Faint Conjuration; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Amber with insect or animal inclusion worth at least 250 gp, Craft Wondrous Item, summon swarm; Created Market Price: 16,250 gp. Totem Amber: For as long as the scholars and loremasters remember, people have been carving amber into images of animals they have seen in the world. Many of these early-carved pieces were crudely made, though still recognizable. Wizards feel that the first totem amber was created by accident when a carver finally carved a piece of amber just right when representing the totem animal. Since then, through experimentation and luck, totem amber has been harnessed. Totem amber comes from carving the amber into just the right representation of the totem animal. The representation must be realistic enough, but not too real, for the natural magic to be harnessed. When harnessed, the totem amber bestows the physical characteristics of the totem animal as an enhancement bonus upon the bearer of the totem once per day. The effect lasts for one hour. Only animals have been able to be made into totems and scholars are unsure why creatures such as dragons, giants, and other creatures are unable to be made into totems. Totem amber is usually worn about the neck on a simple leather thong, but can also be set into amulets, bracers, headbands, or other jewelry. Rarely, people will set the totem amber in a weapon. A person can wear and activate as many pieces of different totem amber as they want as long as they do not violate the space requirements for magical items. The abilities of the different totems do not stack with one another. Depending on the type of totem animal carved the totem amber will provide different benefits. The following table shows a sampling of animals that have been carved into totems and their properties. This list is not all-inclusive, but gives a sampling of totem amber animals. Moderate Transmutation; CL 7th; Prerequisites: Amber worth at least 250 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Carving) DC 20; Harnessed Market Price: Varies. Optional – Moderate Transmutation; CL 7th; Prerequisites: Amber worth at least 250 gp, Craft Wondrous Item, polymorph; Created Market Price: Varies.

Aragonite Twin’s Heart: Aragonite is a mineral that naturally forms twins, a symmetrical intergrowth of two or more crystals. For many centuries it was thought that aragonite served no other purpose than that of a very minor gemstone. It didn’t until a skilled jeweler named Galen Krell made a fortuitous discovery. He was asked to create a gemstone for a customer out of a piece of aragonite to be given as a present to his wife. Galen had a piece of aragonite twin and felt that a heart-shaped gemstone would be appropriate. Galen carved the heart out of the center of the aragonite twin and unwittingly released the natural magic of the mineral. He discovered that by holding the carved gemstone a person could create an image of himself while he became

invisible. He could command his image to move and interact with those around it, while he remained hidden from view. Galen quickly went from being a humble jeweler to being a harnesser of magical minerals. The twin’s heart is carved from the intersection of a twinned aragonite crystal. When the heart-shaped carving is grasped the bearer can become invisible (as improved invisibility) and simultaneously a perfect image of the person appears in the same location. The image can be concentrated upon to perform actions or interact with people (though it cannot fight or cast spells). It will also perform its last command for up to three rounds after the person stops concentrating on the image. The invisibility effect lasts for 10 rounds. A person can activate and use the gem once per day. Moderate Illusion; CL 11th; Prerequisites: Twinned aragonite crystal worth at least 250 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (gem cutting) DC 20; Harnessed Market Value: 13,450 gp. Optional – Moderate Illusion; CL 11th; Prerequisites: Twinned aragonite crystal worth at least 250 gp, Craft Wondrous Item, mislead; Created Market Price: 26,650 gp.

Barite Harpy Heart: Barite is a mineral that is best known for the rose shape the mineral naturally forms. It is not a highly valued mineral and is considered a low quality gemstone. However, when a piece of barite is cut into a heart shape its natural magical property is harnessed. Once per day, a person holding the heart can attempt to charm another person. The target of the charm gets a will save (DC 15) to avoid the effect. A charmed person will perceive the words and actions of the bearer of the harpy heart in a favorable way. The effect is identical to the spell charm person. The charm effect lasts for 24 hours, or until another person is charmed by the bearer. Faint Enchantment; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Barite worth at least 100 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Carving) DC 12; Harnessed Market Value: 1,100 gp.


10

Optional – Faint Enchantment; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Barite worth at least 100 gp, Craft Wondrous Item, charm person; Created Market Value: 2,100 gp.

Bloodstone Vision Stone: The vision stone has only recently been harnessed for its magical properties. Researchers for centuries have delved the secrets of the bloodstone and what magic the stone may hold, but nearly all of this research focused on possibilities that the stone had some connection to blood, either healing or injuring a person. It took a bold researcher named Karla Metvorg, a Half-Elven wizard who was ridiculed for her ideas about the nature of the bloodstone, to persevere in her research and finally unlock the bloodstones secret.

The bloodstones magic is harnessed by carving the stone into a ring about an inch in diameter where the inner part of the ring is beveled slightly inward and the outer part of the ring is cut in a complex geometric pattern. When the vision stone is set over the eye of a person suffering from blindness, the stone sinks into the eye, merging with the afflicted person. This process takes only two minutes and, once complete, the vision in that eye is restored. To be able to restore vision to a person blind in both eyes, two vision stones are required. In addition to restoring vision, the vision stone also grants a +2 competence bonus against all future attacks (magical, natural, or otherwise) that might dazzle or blind the person. Faint Conjuration; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Bloodstone worth at least 250 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Carving) DC 25; Harnessed Market Value: 625 gp. Optional – Faint Conjuration; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Bloodstone worth at least 250 gp, Craft Wondrous Item, remove blindness/deafness; Created Market Value: 1,000 gp.

Cat’s Eye Eye of the Tiger: Cat’s eye gemstones are valued for the play of light across the gem when it is cut into a sphere or cabochon. While this is pleasing to the eye, it fails to harness the true potential of the mineral. When a cat’s eye of sufficient size is carved into the form of a prowling tiger the magic locked within the gem is harnessed. When a person holds the eye of the tiger, that person gains a +4 enhancement bonus to their Dexterity score. In addition, once per day when the command phrase, “Here kitty-kitty,” is spoken, two tigers are summoned. These tigers have the normal stats for a tiger listed in the MM and have maximum hit points. The tigers will fight at the command of the person who summoned them and will remain for 12 hours or until they are killed. Moderate Summoning and Transmutation; CL 9th; Prerequisites: Cat’s eye worth at least 500 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Carving) DC 25; Harnessed Market Value: 81,500 gp.


11

Optional – Moderate Summoning and Transmutation; CL 9th; Prerequisites: Cat’s eye worth at least 500 gp, Craft Wondrous Item, cat’s grace, summon nature’s ally V; Created Market Value: 162,500 gp.

Chalcedony Plenty Stone: Chalcedony is a variety of quartz and comes in many varieties. It makes a good ornamental stone and is a minor gemstone. One variety is known as dendritic because of the vein-like structures that run through the mineral. The natural magic of dendritic chalcedony has been known since the dawn of civilization. Since then the plenty stone has been saving people from starvation. The natural magic in the stone is harnessed by carving the chalcedony into the form of a plate. When the plate is broken it

produces food and water enough to feed 15 medium-size humanoids for 24 hours. The food is simple and nourishing, though it may lack some flavor. The water is as pure as rainwater. The food decays after 24 hours, while the water can last 48 hours. Casting purify food and water on the food preserves it for another 24 hours. Good aligned churches often create plenty stones to be used in emergency situations to feed the hungry. Adventurers have found the plenty stone a useful item to carry since it is easier to carry than rations. Faint Conjuration; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Dendritic chalcedony worth at least 100 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Carving) DC 12; Harnessed Market Value: 475 gp. Optional – Faint Conjuration; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Dendritic chalcedony worth at least 100 gp, Craft Wondrous Item, create food and water; Created Market Value: 850 gp.

Freshwater Pearl Doolittle Gem: Freshwater pearls are relegated to a second-class status as gems. Not as lustrous or brilliant as a true marine pearl, they are accepted but not as sought after as gemstones. The gems natural magic was not realized until recently. A naturalist follower of Brixbrix named James Doolittle traveled to a small island in the Kentash Islands to study the unique animal life there. There, he harvested a freshwater oyster for one of his meals and found a pearl inside. While pleased with his find, Doolittle thought little of it, and over the next few weeks he kept the pearl with him, and actually began to carve the pearl while watching the birds and large iguanas on the island. At first the carving had no shape, but after a couple of days the pearl took on the shape of a mouth. After finishing the carving, Doolittle realized he could now talk to the animals. He was amazed by the new ability, and soon figured out it was due to the pearl he had carved. Doolittle finished the research he was doing, and went on to great fame as a champion of animal rights. He never let on how he had the ability to speak with animals, and it wasn’t until after his death that his


12

secret was revealed. Since then, wizards have been harnessing the natural magic of the freshwater pearl. When a freshwater pearl carved into the shape of a mouth is held or worn the bearer is able to speak with animals. This ability functions continuously while the pearl is held. The pearl is often set into a headband or a necklace. Faint Divination; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Freshwater pearl worth at least 100 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Carving) DC 15; Harnessed Market Value: 5,100 gp. Optional – Faint Divination; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Freshwater pearl worth at least 100 gp, Craft Wondrous Item, speak with animals; Created Market Value: 10,100 gp.

Garnets Barrier Stones: There are several varieties of garnets and all are of gem quality and have been used in jewelry since recorded time began. Each garnet has a unique magical power that can be harnessed, and as a group the garnets all express their magical power in the form of a magical wall; this gives the group of gems their name as barrier stones.

Hematite Stone of a Thousand Cuts: Not all that glitters is gold, and not all minerals that are harnessed are safe. The stone of a thousand cuts is one such mineral that the first person to harness it probably wishes he could undo. Now the stone has found its way into the arsenals of those people who can afford it, with


15

devastating effect. The minerals magic is harnessed by cutting a piece of silver hematite into a geometric shape of two interlocked tetrahedrons. The shape looks like two four-sided pyramids that have been melded together at their center. Once harnessed, the stone of a thousand cuts is a dangerous weapon. When the stone is thrown and strikes a creature, the creature’s body begins to bleed as if cut by a thousand blades, taking 4d8+15 points of damage. This damage is instantaneous and there is no save to reduce the damage. Using the stone in this manner uses 1 charge. At a command, usually ‘stone of death’ shouted in Dwarven, when the stone is thrown it deals 4d8+15 points of damage to all creatures within 50 feet of the point of impact. Using the stone in this manner uses 5 charges from the stone. A stone of a thousand cuts has 50 charges at the time it is created. Once all the charges have been used, the stone is destroyed. Because of the stones deadly nature it is usually considered to be a contraband item and is not openly sold. It can be purchased on the black market, or from less reputable dealers, or created by an evil wizard for a price. Those caught possessing a stone of a thousand cuts are often arrested on the spot and face fines or imprisonment for carrying the stone. The laws on this vary from region to region. The market values listed here are listed as if the stone could be sold openly. Most stones are sold at higher prices because of their illegal nature. Strong Necromancy; CL 15th; Prerequisites: Silver hematite worth at least 250 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Gem Cutting) DC 25; Harnessed Market Value: 60,250 gp. Optional – Strong Necromancy; CL 15th; Prerequisites: Silver hematite worth at least 250 gp, Craft Wondrous Item, mass inflict critical wounds; Created Market Value: 120,250 gp.

Lapis Lazuli Awareness Stone: This vibrant purple stone has long been used as a gemstone. An unknown magic user discovered its natural magical properties in the days of pre-history. Carving the gemstone into a flawless sphere about an inch in diameter releases the magic. Carrying the stone increases a person’s awareness, providing a +4

competence bonus to Listen and Spot skill checks. Faint Abjuration; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Lapis lazuli worth at least 500 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Gem Cutting) DC 25; Harnessed Market Value: 10, 500 gp. Optional – Faint Abjuration; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Lapis lazuli worth at least 500 gp, Create Wondrous Item, owl’s wisdom; Created Market Value: 20,500 gp.

Moonstone Orb of the New Moon: Those people afflicted with the disease of lycanthropy are transformed into their animal form on the night of the full moon. Many of these people are fearful of what the disease has made them and seek ways to control the animal within them. At the same time, other people, fearful of what


16

the lycanthrope represents – the abomination of nature – have sought ways to control and dominate these creatures and keep them from harming others. In the orb of the new moon these two opposite parties find a common center, though for different reasons. Nobody is sure why the gem possesses these magical properties, only that it does, and carving the gemstone into a slightly oblong sphere releases the magic. Two different commands control the orb. Only a lycanthrope that has been afflicted with the disease can give the first command. On the night of the full moon, the person holding the orb can say ‘suppress’ in Elven to activate one charge from the orb. Doing this allows the person to automatically suppress the urge to change into their animal form for that month. This can only happen if the person is aware of their affliction. In addition, whenever the person would be required to make a Control Shape check due to damage, they can say the command word to use a charge from the orb to suppress the change. The second command can be given by any non-lycanthrope (including other creatures with the shapechanger sub-type). When this person holds the orb and gives the command word ‘repel’ in Elven, the orb glows with a silver light and all lycanthropes within 60 feet must make a DC 20 Will save. On a failed save the lycanthrope is physically moved to beyond the 60-foot range of the orb and cannot approach or use a ranged weapon against the bearer or the orb. Doing this uses one charge from the orb. On the night of the new moon the orb can be placed outside for the night. Doing so allows the orb to “recharge”, adding one charge back for the orb (maximum of 50 charges). The orb has 50 charges when harnessed and is destroyed once the last charge is used. Strong Universal; CL 13th; Prerequisites: Moonstone worth at least 1,000 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Gem Cutting) DC 20; Harnessed Market Value: 46,500 gp. Optional – Strong Universal; CL 13th; Prerequisites: Moonstone worth at least 1,000 gp, Craft Wondrous Item, limited wish; Created Market Value: 92,000 gp. Yntalla’s Tear: Among the faithful of Yntalla, the Goddess of the Moon, there is a legend about the creation of the first shapechangers on Ados. The legend tells how the light of the first full moon fell upon a large lake, filling it with silver light. The waters in the lake began to roil and froth and, from the moonbeam, moonstones fell into the water. As each moonstone hit the water it released a silvery drop, which transformed into a different shapechanger. The moonstones fell to the lakebed, each elongated into a teardrop shape. Despite the fervent beliefs of the faithful, scholars and loremasters are unsure if the legend is true or not. However, the magic users took hold of the legend and developed Yntalla’s Tear. When a moonstone is carved into a teardrop shape the gems natural magic is released. For the magic to work, the gemstone must be implanted into a person, usually under the skin on the arm, though followers of Yntalla are known to implant the tear in the middle of their forehead such that the gemstone is visible. To implant the stone a person must make an incision in the proper area and insert the stone. The wound can be bound and healed normally or a cure spell can be cast to heal the wound and seal in the


17

stone. When Yntalla’s Tear is implanted, the person can transform into another creature once per day. This transformation is identical to the polymorph spell and lasts for 30 minutes. A person can willingly end the transformation before the end of the duration, but once it has ended the person cannot transform again even if there was time left on the duration. Moderate Transmutation; CL 7th; Prerequisites: Moonstone worth at least 1,000 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Gem Cutting) DC 20; Harnessed Market Value: 6,600 gp. Optional – Moderate Transmutation; CL 7th; Prerequisites: Moonstone worth at least 1,000 gp, Craft Wondrous Item, polymorph; Created Market Value: 12,200 gp.

Mother of Pearl Gem of Insight: Throughout the ages many people have tried to see into the future, to learn if a particular action or event will be for good or for ill. Diviners of all types, from palm readers to readers of chicken entrails have sought out future omens, but for many people the gem of insight is the most accurate method for divining the future.

The gem of insight was discovered by accident. An unknown wizard had a small piece of mother of pearl, which was used as a worry stone. The wizard constantly rubbed the stone and produced a small oval depression. At some point the depression was worn to the right position where the gems natural magic was harnessed. The discovery and importance were not identified until many years later, but today skilled wizards are able to carve mother of pearl with the depression to release the magical energy. To use the gem of insight a person must hold the gem in their hand and rub the stone with their thumb while thinking about the action or event for which they want to know the outcome. The gem of insight will not tell them the exact future, but it will tell the person if the action will be good or bad. If the action is good and bad the gem will tell the person this as well, and if the action is neither good nor bad it will tell the person nothing. The ‘telling’ by the gem is a thought or feeling within the person and not an actual voice. The gem is not 100% accurate; it will give a meaningful response 90% of the time (GM should roll secretly for the result). The gem of insight is only able to see about 30 minutes into the future. There is no limit to how many times a person can use the gem of insight. Faint Divination; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Mother of Pearl worth at least 50 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Carving) DC 12; Harnessed Market Value: 10,050 gp. Optional – Faint Divination; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Mother of Pearl worth at least 50 gp, Craft Wondrous Item, augury; Created Market Value: 20,050 gp.

Obsidian All Seeing Eye: For a long time loremasters have collected legends and stories about the mystical properties of black obsidian to protect the wearer from evil. Most of these legends proved to be false, but the persistence of the


18

legends got researchers to study the natural magical properties of the mineral. Nobody is sure who first made the crucial discovery to prove the legends, and some speculate that many wizards across the globe made the discovery around the same time. When a flawless piece of black obsidian is carved into the shape of an eye the natural magical property is harnessed. When the carved gemstone is held or worn it grants a person protection from evil, as the spell. The carved gemstone is often worn as an amulet or set into a helmet. Faint Abjuration; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Black obsidian worth at least 250 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Carving) DC 20; Harnessed Market Value: 5,250 gp. Optional – Faint Abjuration; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Black obsidian worth at least 250 gp, Craft Wondrous Item, protection from evil; Created Market Value: 10,250 gp.

Gem of Vitality: Obsidian has had many uses as a minor gemstone, tool, and a weapon over the centuries. Some varieties of obsidian have also been harnessed for their natural magical properties, such as the Ghost Tip, and this led many wizards and researchers to look at other varieties of obsidian to see if they also had natural magical

properties. A lot of the research proved fruitless, until a Gnome wizard named Gwengolyn Badgersrest made a chance discovery. She had been looking at basic geometric shapes and varieties of obsidian. She was crafting a double pyramidal shape on a piece of mahogany obsidian when her chisel slipped and the perfect double pyramid split into two five-sided pyramids. She was about to toss the mistake when she felt her vitality increase as she picked up the broken pieces. Some more research led to the creation of the Gem of Vitality. A person holding the Gem of Vitality gains a +4 enhancement bonus to their Constitution score. In addition, the Gem of Vitality prolongs a person’s natural lifespan by one year for every month that the gem is possessed up to a maximum increase of 50% over the normal lifespan for the person’s race. Faint Transmutation; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Mahogany obsidian worth at least 250 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Gem Cutting) DC 20; Harnessed Market Value: 10,250 gp. Optional – Faint Transmutation; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Mahogany obsidian worth at least 250 gp, Craft Wondrous Item; bear’s endurance; Created Market Value: 20,250 gp.

Opal Qurna’s Eye: Qurna, the Goddess of Magic, has bestowed Her power across the land, so it is only natural that a gem shares in Her magic. The opal, with its play of colors, is reminiscent of the auroras that mark Qurna’s home in the heavens and was one of the first gems to be harnessed for its natural magic. When an opal is carved into a sphere with a flat base on one side the gems magic is harnessed.


19

The gem can create a realistic image, including sound, smell, and thermal effects. To use the gem the person must first “program” the Eye with the desired image. Holding the gem to the forehead and thinking about the image that you want to create programs the Eye. Qurna’s Eye can create a single image that fits within a 120-foot diameter centered on the Eye, or multiple images that would fit with the same space. The image can be of anything the person can think of, and can include appropriate sounds, smells, and other effects. People can be programmed to speak specific dialog, but cannot otherwise interact with real things. The image can be programmed to last for a specific duration up to the maximum duration of 10 minutes. Once the image is programmed, the Eye is placed on the ground, flat side down, to activate the image. Once activated, the image will last for the programmed duration unless it is directly attacked, which will cause the image to disappear. Once the image has ended, the Eye crumbles to dust. Faint Illusion; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Opal worth at least 250 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Carving) DC 15; Harnessed Market Value: 625 gp. Optional – Faint Illusion; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Opal worth at least 250 gp, Craft Wondrous Item, major image; Created Market Value: 1,000 gp.

Pearl Gem of the Wise: Jewelers are always after the perfect pearl, a flawless sphere that is the perfection of the oysters toil. While a perfect pearl may fetch a kingly sum, wizards and others who harness the natural magic from gems and minerals will scoff at such a perfect specimen. For these people, the pearls true luster and magic is only revealed in a seemingly flawed specimen. A pearl that has grown with two ovoid hemispheres that resembles a brain in shape allows the natural magic to be harnessed. It is rare

for a pearl to form naturally into this shape, and a highly specialized profession of culturing pearls to grow into this shape has cropped up. Even with growing cultured pearls, the chance of successfully growing a gem of the wise is slim. It requires a well-crafted seed to be prepared and then placed inside the oyster. After several years the oyster is opened and only then will the culturer know if they were successful. The pearls natural magic is released in a properly grown pearl. Holding or wearing the pearl improves the wearer’s intuition and strengthens their willpower. The bearer receives a +5 competence bonus to Sense Motive skill checks and a +4 competence bonus to Will saves. Faint Transmutation; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Specially grown pearl worth 500 gp, Harness Gem, Profession (Pearl Culturer) DC 25; Harnessed Market Value: 17,750 gp. Optional – Faint Transmutation; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Specially grown pearl worth 500 gp, Craft Wondrous Item, owl’s wisdom; Created Market Value: 35,000 gp.

Prase Stone of Removal: Unlike many of the other minerals that have been harnessed over the years, the search and discovery of the magic locked within the mineral prase has a


20

more mundane history. The name of the wizard has been lost to history, but the story goes that this wizard was notorious for making errors when writing down spells and the like in books and on scrolls. The problem was so bad that he could fill an entire spellbook trying to write just one spell without a mistake. Looking for a way to save on the cost of parchment, this wizard harnessed the magic within this green variety of quartz. The minerals magic is harnessed by cutting the stone into a rectangular polygon with the short ends set at a 45-degree angle from the vertical. This causes the mineral to look like a rectangle that has been held on the bottom and pushed on the top, skewing the entire shape to the right. When completed the cut mineral is no larger than 1 inch wide and 2 inches long. When the stone is passed over magical or mundane writings, the writing is erased. Non-magical writing is automatically erased, while the person holding the stone of removal must make a caster level check (d20 + caster level) against a DC of 15 to successfully erase magical writing. Failing to erase magical writing, such as explosive runes or a glyph of warding, causes the spell to activate. Faint Transmutation; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Prase worth at least 250 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Gem Cutting) DC 15; Harnessed Market Value: 5,250 gp. Optional – Faint Transmutation; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Prase worth at least 250 gp, Craft Wondrous Item, erase; Created Market Value: 10,250 gp.

Purple Sapphire Destiny Gem: Sapphires come in several colors depending on the impurities within the mineral. Each variety seems to have its own unique magical power locked within. It is said that every person has a destiny, a pre-planned life to do as the fates have decided. If that is true, the destiny gem is a key to unlocking a person’s fate. The magic within the gem can be harnessed by cutting the gem into a

twinned solitaire cut with the two solitaires joined at the tips and resembling an hourglass. A person who holds the destiny gem has clarity of thought about what they need to do at any moment. Decisions and actions become second nature and require almost no thought at all; the path before them is clear and right. They do not suffer any indecision and do not regret the actions that they take. This feeling is similar to an augury spell, in that the person just seems to know whether an action will be the right one to take. In addition, the person holding the destiny gem benefits from a +4 competence bonus to all attack rolls, saves, and skill checks. The person is immune to fear and gains 15 temporary hit points. Damage taken is removed from the temporary hit points first, and if the person loses possession of the gem these temporary hit points are immediately lost. (If this causes the person’s hit points to fall below 0 or to –10, they fall unconscious or die.)

Pyrite Lyzar’s Eye: Pyrite, or Fool’s Gold, has long been the bane of the treasure hunter and for this reason those who merely seek wealth often overlook it. Ancient people understood the importance of pyrite and much of their knowledge was passed on to scholars, loremasters, and wizards who are starting to unlock the mysteries of pyrite. One of these mysteries was revealed in the form of Lyzar’s Eye. Pyrite will naturally form into a circular disk under the right conditions. Erik Licht, a wizard and priest of Lyzar, studied the connection between the metal and the God of the Sun, and discovered that with a small alteration to the natural disk that it would emit a bean of sunlight that damaged anything it struck and blinded creatures. Erik realized he had harnessed the natural magic Lyzar had bestowed upon the pyrite and was soon turning out weapons the faithful could use against the darkness. When Lyzar’s Eye is held in the hand, it can produce a beam of intense sunlight three times per day as a line 60 feet long. Creatures caught in the light are blinded and take 4d6 points of damage. If the creature is harmed by sunlight that creature takes double damage. A successful Reflex save (DC 20) negates the blindness and reduces the damage by half. Undead, and outsiders associated with Tare, such as a Child of Tare, that are caught in the light take 13d6 points of damage, half on a successful save. Undead that are specifically harmed by sunlight, such as vampires, are destroyed on a failed save. Strong Evocation; CL 13th; Prerequisites: Pyrite disk worth at least 250 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Carving) DC 10; Harnessed Market Price: 54,750 gp. Optional – Strong Transmutation; CL 13th; Prerequisites: Pyrite disk worth at least 250 gp, Craft Wondrous Item, sunbeam; Created Market Price: 109,250 gp.

Treasure Mirror: Pyrite’s golden luster has fooled many a treasure hunter. For this reason, most treasure seekers shun the mineral and consider it worthless. Shai Xin, a resourceful and inquisitive wizard who had a lust for gold unlocked a secret of pyrite to his considerable advantage and died a very wealthy man. Shai discovered that taking a naturally formed cube of pyrite and polishing it with a gold saturated alchemical solution would transform the pyrite cube into a mirror for finding treasure. When activated, by holding the cube in your hand and speaking the Dwarven word ‘wealth’,

the cube’s polished surface shows an image of and direction toward the nearest treasure worth at least 100 gp or more in value. In addition, a second command of ‘magic’, also in


22

Dwarven, reveals the presence of any magical auras in the viewed treasure. The treasure mirror is not fool proof, as treasure protected by lead will block its magic and false magical auras will also show up. However, the mirror works well enough that some adventurers value having a treasure mirror in order to help them find well hidden treasure. Faint Divination; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Pyrite cube worth at least 500 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Alchemy) DC 10; Harnessed Market Price: 9,500 gp. Optional – Faint Divination; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Pyrite cube worth at least 500 gp, Craft Wondrous Item, locate object, detect magic; Created Market Price: 18,500 gp.

Sardonyx Luckbringer: Across history many items and objects have been said to have the power of luck. Some have proved true, others false, and the true ability of still other objects remains unknown. Followers of Wrix, the Luckbringer, have researched, collected, and cataloged many of these items. A Gnome wizard named Jamin Forestdigger, a follower of Wrix, sought to add to the Luckbringer’s powers and began experimenting with different minerals. As befitting his faith, Forestdigger’s success was a chance of luck. He’d been frustrated to this point, having tested several hundred minerals with no success. In a fit of rage he picked up a pair of sardonyx that had been sitting on a table and threw them against a wall. Later, picking the pieces up, he noticed that the two minerals had shattered into two cubes and resembled the dice that are the symbol of Wrix. When a pair of sardonyx are cut into cubes and set with the symbols associated with Wrix the magic within the mineral is harnessed. The magic is only harnessed when two pieces of sardonyx are harnessed together, and once harnessed, the magic only works when both ‘dice’ are held together. A person that holds the dice benefits from a +1 luck bonus to attack rolls, a +1 luck bonus on saves versus fear effects, and receives 1d8+5 temporary hit points. Damage dealt to the bearer of the luck stone is removed from these temporary hit points first. If a person stops holding one or both of the luck stones they immediately lose all benefits, including the temporary hit points. (If this causes the person’s hit points to fall below 0 or to –10, they fall unconscious or die.) Faint Enchantment; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Two sardonyx worth at least 250 gp each, Harness Gem, Craft (Carving) DC 20; Harnessed Market Value: 10,500 gp. Optional – Faint Enchantment; CL 5th; Prerequisites: Two sardonyx worth at least 250 gp each, Craft Wondrous Item, aid; Created Market Value: 20,500 gp.

Spinel Immortality Stone: The search for immortality has long been the subject of man’s fantasy and desire. A few souls have succeeded in learning the secrets to immortality, though the process is long and hard and filled with failure and disappointment. Among


23

followers of Jute, the search for immortality is also the search for the divine, and many take to the Seekers of the Immortal sect within the Church. One member of the sect, Casius Trellium Fennel, used his knowledge of magic and gem harnessing to create a path to immortality. Casius was able to harness the magic within the spinel by carving out Jute’s holy symbol, the four-pointed star, from the mineral. Casius thought his achievement would find favor among the members of the sect, but he was greeted with only ridicule. The quest for immortality they preached was the search for the divine

spirit within. By creating, even harnessing a minerals natural magic, an item that would bring about the same result with little divine effort was an affront to Jute. Casius was thrown out of the sect, but he has gone on to fame by selling copies of the immortality stone. The immortality stone appears as just another holy symbol to Jute until the command phrase, “By Jute’s blessing, may all life be preserved forever.” is spoken. Once the phrase is said aloud the immortality stone glows with a blue light and then crumbles to dust. From that moment on the person who spoke the command phrase no longer ages. They no longer suffer the effects from aging. This does not mean that the person cannot die, they can still be killed by physical or magical means, but they will no longer die from old age. Many religious groups ban the use of the immortality stone. The followers of Jute, despite their reverence for life, find the immortality stone blasphemous and ban its possession. At the other end of the religious spectrum, followers of Iz, Lord of the Underworld, also consider the possession of the immortality stone a sin as it prevents death (not quite true, but useful for religious purposes). Many other religious groups ban or restrict possession of the immortality stone on similar grounds. For this reason, it is usually not possible to openly purchase an immortality stone. They can be bought from discrete vendors as well as on the black market for marked up prices (generally 50% more than the listed market price), or they can be found as treasure. Strong Transmutation; CL 20th; Prerequisites: Spinel worth at least 1,000 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Carving) DC 25; Harnessed Market Value: 101,000 gp.

Star Sapphire Blue Eyed Gem: The star sapphire is a rare and beautiful gemstone. Many people have been fascinated by the star pattern on the gems, and many wizards attempted to unlock the magic within the stone. They knew that the stones magic would only be harnessed if the star pattern was preserved, but all attempts failed to harness any magic. Inspiration finally came to one wizard whose name has been lost to history. This wizard

realized that the full potential of the gem could not be harnessed until a sacrifice was made. With excruciating pain, the wizard removed one of his eyes and placed the cut star sapphire in the still bleeding socket. The gem settled into place and the blood stopped flowing while the skin settled around the gem, holding it in place. At first the wizard had no vision out of the new eye, but after a while his vision returned, though slightly changed, as he was now able to discern magical auras around people and objects. To harness the magic of the star sapphire, a high quality gem must be cut into a slightly elongated sphere about the shape of an eye. Once cut, the gem must be placed into an unoccupied eye socket of a living creature. The person is blinded in the new eye for 10 minutes, but thereafter the person is able to see normally as if he had two eyes. In addition, the new eye is able to see magical auras. With concentration to activate the eye the person is able to discern magical auras within sight, knowing the strength and location of the aura. You automatically know which spells or magical effects are active. You are not able to identify any magical items. There are two side effects to the gem. One is seeing the world with a slight blue tint. This does not affect any vision other than causing everything to look slightly blue. Second, both of your eyes constantly glow with a blue light, whether the blue eyed gem is active or not. This can be disconcerting to some people, so you receive a +2 equipment bonus to Intimidate skill checks.

Tourmaline Kaleidoscope Gem: There have been many ways to scry distant locations, from spells to magic items. Many of these items are cumbersome and have some risk of being detected. A young wizard named Kelvin Phogg, who moonlighted as a rogue, wanted a better way to see other locations and researched the magical properties of many minerals. He finally identified tourmaline as the mineral with the right properties, and was able to harness the minerals properties to his considerable increase in wealth. Harnessing the natural magic is accomplished by cutting a crystal of watermelon tourmaline into the shape of an octagonal cylinder three

inches long. When the cylinder is held up to a person’s eye that person is able to use the kaleidoscope gem to look through doors or walls of any composition and up to three feet thick. The viewer sees the room beyond in whatever lighting conditions exist in the room. If the room is shrouded in magical darkness the viewer is unable to see. In normal darkness the viewer can only see10 feet into the room unless the viewer possesses darkvision. The gem can also be used to look into objects, such as chests, coffins, or other closed containers, to identify the contents. Moderate Divination; CL 10th; Prerequisites: Watermelon tourmaline worth at least 1,000 gp, Harness Gem, Craft (Gem Cutting) DC 20; Harnessed Market Value: 31,000 gp.

Zircon Jute’s Tear: To prevent death is one of the most sought after protections. Spells can provide some protection from certain forms of death, and other objects and magic exist that can also protect against death in one form or another. Casius Trellium Fennel, a wizard follower of Jute, and harnesser of the first immortality stone also researched ways to prevent death from occurring as part of his research into immortality. Years before he harnessed the first immortality stone Casius harnessed the magic within zircon as a ward against death. The leaders of the Church hailed Casius and this gave him confidence to continue his search for immortality. When a nearly flawless zircon gem is cut into the shape of a tear about half an inch long and with a slight curl at the apex of the tear the natural magic within the zircon is harnessed. A person who holds Jute’s tear is warded against all forms of death including death spells, magical death effects, energy drain, and negative energy effects. The person is also warded against these other death effects with the following restrictions: hit point loss (the person still falls unconscious but stabilizes at -9 hit points and begins to heal normally at that point), poison (the person still suffers damage, but cannot die from the damage taken), ability loss (the person still loses the points, he just cannot die from a Constitution score of 0), and petrification (though it does not prevent the actual turning to stone, a person warded still becomes a statue, but they still live within the stone). The only flaw in the magic is that it does not prevent death from old age. For this reason, Casius continued his search for the immortality stone.

Optional – Strong Necromancy; CL 14th; Prerequisites: Zircon worth at least 1,500 gp, Harness, Craft Wondrous Item, death ward; Created Market Value: 113,500 gp.
