The Powers of the Gems

Note that some gems are left off for now, Nephrite and Jadeite are both gems that fall under Jade. This can change over time.

Useful Gems

• Carnelian: Used as a far more powerful version of coal. A single one can light up an entire settlement in a dark red color. These are placed in furnaces and last for about 3 months before expiring. Heat is enough to cook, smelt metal, and can be adjusted.
• Emerald: Used for healing and plant acceleration. These are usually kept by nut growers to further accelerate the process of making nuts. Disease and injuries were healed much quickly near its presence when activated.
• Topaz- Lights of all colors. Carnelian does this as well but topaz is much brighter. Can produce different colors and is used for parties.
• Turquoise- Gliding. Although risuners are not flying squirrels they have used this power to be able to glide. Turquoise must be directly infused with a risuner to allow them this power so it is only used on the witch themself or close friends.
• Grape agate- Weaponry. This is by far the most commonly used gem in /risu/ and so many gemtrees of it have been produced that it can be used fairly commonly despite its low expiration. These are used as weapons and are placed at the end of a staff like weapon. These "grape blasters" fire a small purple fireball like projectile at very fast speed. Only 10 shots can be fired before it has to be reloaded with another bead of grape agate. Top priority is placed on making sure nobody, not even outside risuners get their hands on these weapons.
• Rubies: Holy stone for Sunsuners, used for lighting.
• Sapphires: the wisdom stone, stimulating concentration, enhancing creativity and promoting purity and depth of thought. It is believed to focus and calm the mind as well as remove unwanted thoughts, depression and mental tension.
• Jade: Spiritually significant but also can grant strength to user.
• Diamonds: Prismatic bombs, limited.
• Opal: Love Stone.
• Tourmaline: Magnetic attraction
• Amethyst: Antidote to poisons and party gem
• Garnets: Fires Lightning
• Aquamarine: Used for plumbing and sinks.
• Peridot: Magic shields, limited
