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