'''Crystal holders''', or '''crystal holding jewelry''', allow an adventurer to wear a magical crystal on their person that they would otherwise have to hold and rub on the go. There are restrictions on the alterations as any crystal pushed into the slot will add to the '''LONG''' description of the item, however when a specialized merchant is about, the way the crystal appears in the jewelry can be altered to prespecified options. New crystals beyond what is found in the treasure system were introduced shortly after crystal holding jewelry was was first sold.
A '''crystal holder''' (also known as '''crystal holding jewelry''') allows an adventurer to wear a magical crystal on their person that they would otherwise have to hold and rub on the go. New crystals beyond what is found in the treasure system were introduced shortly after crystal holding jewelry was was first sold. All crystals placed in a crystal holder require [[Magic Item Use]] to activate, including those that normally can be used without it (i.e., [[blue crystal]]s, [[white crystal]]s, and [[black crystal]]s).


There are restrictions on the alterations, as any crystal pushed into the slot will add to the [[long description]] of the item. Specialized merchants can work on the crystal holder to change the socket, which alters the way the crystal appears. There are a number of options to choose from.

A crystal holder (also known as crystal holding jewelry) allows an adventurer to wear a magical crystal on their person that they would otherwise have to hold and rub on the go. New crystals beyond what is found in the treasure system were introduced shortly after crystal holding jewelry was was first sold. All crystals placed in a crystal holder require Magic Item Use to activate, including those that normally can be used without it (i.e., blue crystals, white crystals, and black crystals).

There are restrictions on the alterations, as any crystal pushed into the slot will add to the long description of the item. Specialized merchants can work on the crystal holder to change the socket, which alters the way the crystal appears. There are a number of options to choose from.

Bound crystals (white, blue and black) obtained through boosts are considered to be attuned and do not function within the crystal holders.
