Stone tending
Stone tending is a human healing art from the Duchy of Aldora,a province in the Turamzzyrian Empire.
In-Game Lore
At the 2007 Ebon Gate festival, a merchant named Sealuna had a shop called the Stone-tender's Cottage. In it were enhancive stones for humans, half-elves, and human and half-elvenempaths, as well as scripted stone-tending stones for all.
There was a tapestry in the cottage that had the following poem:
J>read tapestry
In the Common language, it reads:
Mother told me to learn the words well-
Mother told me to sit and listen a spell.
Heed the seer-stone on thy brow -
Learn its songs that answer why and how.
Amber in your pocket, you'll always come home-
Agate in your pocket, and to Gosaena you'll roam.
To cure your diseases always see Alabaster -
Give sobriety an Amethyst to avoid Disaster.
Sympathy and trust go to the aquamarine -
And prosperity and strength to aventurine.
If Beryl gives you weakness of spirit -
Then Alexandrite gives you the peace to bear it.
Bloodstones protects against all foul magic -
While Carbuncle is purely necromantic.
Chalcedony is all about mercy and kindness -
While Chrysoberyl is the foul spirit that binds us.
Chrysoprase will cure you of painful ailments-
And Coral will protect you from the elements.
Coredelite is a weak-watered dish-
But Deathstone is an ill-begotten wish.
Despanal will give you skill and power-
Yet, it's Diamond that allows it to flower.
If Demons you fear then of Diopside beware-
So too of black Diopside if you despair.
Blue Dreamstone makes an understanding wish-
And Feystone speaks of only the foolish.
Emerald can offer you poison protection-
But Firestone is Disaster's Prediction.
Dark Garnet is the tool of deep Passions-
While blue Geode is an empathic distraction.
If mental prowess you seek, then try glimaerstone-
Find Heliodor to gain control of your own.
Brown Jade gives you the Arkati's Blessings-
But black Jasper is an unreliable assessing.
A gift of jet is a blessing of Shadow's Dance-
And Labradorite is protection from chance.
Lapis Lazuli reduces fever or body ache-
But always use malachite when forgiveness is at stake.
In Sapphire you'll find Niima's graceful elation-
And in moonstone a hidden secret spell's revelation.
Morganite means a child is harmed-
But in obsidian with Onar you are armed.
Opal screams madness, and Pyrite claims False-
Quartz begs you to the shadows a waltz.
Use a black Pearl to dispel Sardonyx's troubled Spirits.
And blue Peridot absorbs anything near it.
Summon strength in Rhodochrosite-
And a Ruby means your heart is in sight.
A Sard gives a false sense of security-
While Shimmertine speaks of your Fragility.
Tiny sapphire eases a lonesome mind-
And violet Spinel will heal it in kind.
Tigerfang speaks of Transformation-
And white Starstone of Divination.
Sunstone is strength, but Topaz is cautious.
And pale to Tourmaline which makes you nauseous.
Find meaning in stones, she bade me to do-
But always use your heart to find the one that's true.
Her words I will pass down, in needle and thread.
But her memory, I beg you, keep in your heart and your head.
Another sign was in her shop that related to the stone-tending stones she sold:
In the Common language, it reads:
Emerald - Cure Blindness
Bloodjewel and Turquoise - Cure Poison
Ruby and Sard - Limbs
Diamond and Sunstone - Organs
Beryl and Spinel - Neck and Head
Moonstone and Tourmaline - Nerves
Despanal, Opal and Alabaster - Disease
Sapphire and Rose Quartz - Blood Loss
Chrysoprase - Pain
Lapis Lazuli - Fever
Amethyst - Sobriety

You move to Kembal's side and carefully lay your coppery sunstone upon his brow.
You close your eyes and concentrate upon the healing properties of the coppery sunstone, and it begins to warm in your hand.
You lift the coppery sunstone from Kembal's skin and step back.
