====== ⚒️ Jewelsmithing ======

Jewelsmithing is the trade skill used to cut and refine raw gemstones into magically attuned components. These refined gems are used in **ritual magic**, **crafted items**, and **enchantments**. All Jewelsmithing must be performed at a **Forge** or **Jeweler’s Bench** using appropriate tools and tags.

There is **no field use** for Jewelsmithing. Refinement actions may be done **during events** with proper physreps and Marshal oversight, or submitted at **Check-In**. All refinements must follow the rarity limits and examples outlined below.

----

===== 🧱 Rarity Limits by Rank =====

A Jewelsmith may only refine gemstones up to the rarity tier allowed by their rank in the skill.

^ Rank ^ Allowed Rarity ^ Example Outputs ^
| 1 | Common | Polished Gemstone (non-attuned), Ritual Focus (Basic) |
| 2 | Uncommon | Elemental Focus Gem, Channeling Crystal (e.g., Fire, Ice, Light) |
| 3 | Rare | Forged Gem Core (used in socketed items), Ritual Keystone |
| 4 | Very Rare | Stabilized Focus (durable ritual use or enchantments) |
| 5 | Exotic | Spell-Locked Gem (holds charges), Masterwork Focus (multi-scroll compatible) |

*Note: The above examples reflect typical outputs and do not provide mechanical effects unless defined in an approved scroll, recipe, or ritual.*

----

===== 🛠️ Refinement Process =====

To refine a gemstone:

  * Turn in the **gem tag** representing the raw material, with rarity clearly declared.
  * Indicate the gem’s intended use (ritual focus, socketed item, etc.).
  * Provide silver cost if required by the related scroll, recipe, or enhancement.
  * Have the result physrepped and approved by a Marshal or processed by Logistics.

All refined gemstones must be tagged appropriately. Unless otherwise stabilized, all gems **expire one year** from their date of creation.
