Gems

Upkeep Magic Items (47)
The Empath can trade in a mystic resource for 2 magic upkeep tags. In addition, Empaths can convert 4 uncut gems or 3 cut gems into 1 magical upkeep.

Mystical Resources (75)
Mystical resources are used in the creation and maintenance of magical items and as components in spells and potions. Commonly mystical resources take the form of gems.

Ingredients (91)
An Alchemist is considered to have dried herbs on hand but should role-play collecting them when they have the opportunity. The ingredients list is purely for role-playing purposes unless an ingredient is listed as a Rare herb or a Magical Component. Rare herbs must be found in-game and a tag will be issued for each rare herb found. Magical components are created through the use of the mystic resource. An Alchemist may convert one mystical resource into four magical components. In addition, Alchemists can convert 4 uncut gems or 3 cut gems into 1 magical component. A tag will be issued for each Magical component. An alchemist may only convert mystical resources between events.

Components (95)
Many spells need certain components that must be utilized during the ritual. This part of the scroll describes what if any components are necessary. In most instances and unless otherwise stated, the component will be destroyed at the end of any ritual and any magical component that is involved in the ritual will always be destroyed. An Arcane may create four magical components from one mystical resource. In addition, an Arcane can convert 4 uncut gems or 3 cut gems into 1 magical component. This must be done between events.
