A custom nexus gem is a type of advanced spell customization that changes the messaging associated with nexus gems created via the Holy Receptacle (325) spell. Pre-written custom nexus gem messaging is available at various festivals and pay events. Fully custom nexus gems are a delayed service when the player is writing their own. Custom nexus gems are part of the Player Customization System and are managed via the CUSTOM verb.
Custom nexus gem messaging consists of first person messaging for when the nexus gem is used plus third person messaging for both the departure and arrival rooms.
Examples of custom nexus gem messaging include the following from Rumor Woods:
1P: In a splash of jewel-toned light, the room disappears, and you feel yourself being pulled away...
3P, departure: A splash of jewel-toned light obscures {Character}'s group. When the light dissipates, they are gone.
3P, arrival: A splash of jewel-toned light appears, {Character}'s group in its midst. The colorful lights swirl away as quickly as they arrived.
1P: A column of light the color of a forest moonstone shimmers into existence around you, obscuring your vision and bathing you in a momentary warmth. After a few moments, the column disappears, and you see...
3P, departure: A column of light the color of a forest moonstone shimmers into existence around {Character}'s group, obscuring them from sight. After a few moments, the glittering column disappears, and {Character}'s group is gone.
3P, arrival: A column of light the color of a forest moonstone shimmers into existence. After a few moments, the glittering column disappears, revealing {Character}'s group.
1P: Motes of light flicker in and out of existence, like tiny jeweled stars in the night sky, as they spiral around you. The display is so dazzling that you only notice your surroundings have shifted when they fade away
3P, departure: Motes of light flicker in and out of existence, like tiny jeweled stars in the night sky, as they spiral around {Character}'s group. The display is so dazzling that you only notice them disappearing when the light fades away.
3P, arrival: Motes of light flicker in and out of existence, like tiny jeweled stars in the night sky, filling the air with a whimsical, aerial dance. The display is so dazzling that you only notice the arrival of {Character}'s group when the lights fade away.
1P: Piercing the ground in a ring around you, purple-black tentacles with pale suckers undulate as they rise into the air above, casting shadows as they blot out the light. Clapping together with a wet sound, the oil-slicked appendages descend over you. Their clammy, cold touch is brief, but when they slither back into the ground you realize your surroundings have changed.
3P, departure: Piercing the ground in a ring around {Character}'s group, purple-black tentacles with pale suckers undulate as they rise. Clapping together with a wet sound, the oil-slicked appendages descend upon them, using their full weight to pull them into the floor. As they disappear from sight, you realize {Character}'s group is gone as well.
3P, arrival: Rising from the ground in a tangled mass, undulating purple-black tentacles lined in pale suckers suddenly appear. The oil-slicked appendages separate to reveal {Character}'s group before falling away and disappearing one by one back into the floor.
1P: Limned in blue and ochre, ethereal specters rise out of the floor and begin to swirl about you. Faster and faster, the windless and silent vortex spirals about you, causing you to see nothing more than the blurred images of tortured screams devoid of sound. In a flash, they are gone, revealing that your surroundings have changed.
3P, departure: Limned in blue and ochre, ethereal specters rise out of the floor and begin to swirl about {Character}'s group. Faster and faster, the windless and silent vortex spirals about them, causing them to disappear from sight. Indeed, once the specters disperse, nothing is left behind.
3P, arrival: Windless and soundless, a swirling vortex of tortured spectral faces suddenly appears. Though the visit is brief, the blue and ochre-limned faces leave behind {Character}'s group when they depart.
Additional examples of pre-written nexus gem messaging can be viewed in the character customizations category, such as with the Rumor Woods 2024 advanced spell customizations.
