When singing Purification Song at a gem a Bard is able to remove blemishes and other impurities from the gem, thereby increasing the quality and price of it. Each successful round of purifying a gem increases the price of it by 10%. However, there is a chance of failure each round, increasing in percentage the more the gem is sung to, that can end in damaging or destroying the gem and hurting the singer in the process, causing Hitpoint loss and even stuns.

It is possible to sing to a gem so well that the gem transforms to complete purity and becomes an "orb gem". Orb gems are used in recharging (the origin of the term), and can also have spells imbedded into them via the spells Magic Item Create (420) and Holy Receptacle (325). (As such, they are often valued by adventurers slightly above their actual monetary value.) Orb gems cannot be further purified for increased value.

Mana cost: 4 mana each cast.
