Crystal holder

The official GemStone IV encyclopedia.
Jump to navigation Jump to search

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.

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).
