User:Average/Amulets
Amulets are necklaces with a pendant, and usually have some special power. Highly aligned characters can get the cooperation of the gods and goddesses to empower them. If the karma is good and high, then the bonuses on DAM and HIT apply.
The power of amulets is directly connected to the metals and gemstones used. The yellow of gold is typically used to anchor magical properties, otherwise the purity of electrum, silver, and platinum allows the power of the gods who made them to be represented. The more polished and pure the metal, you can get +DAM and +HIT bonuses. (gold)(silvery metals: +1 for silver, +2 platinum, +3 electrum)
Bonuses on the stats below depend on the level and mana or quanta applied by the giver, up to +5 if Epic (levels above 65).
For gems, there is what the gem signifies vs. what it empowers:
- diamond represents purity and the power of male gods can emanate from it. +AC
- ruby: heart connections: +CON, extra food power or high metabolism
- topaz: industriousness: +DEX, visual acuity: ability to see movement and characters in stealth
- citryne: health: +PTY, +HP REGEN
- emerald: goddess connections; dedication, +PER, +MANA REGEN
- sapphyre: virtue of civilization, +STR, be charismatic
- amethyst: +INT, see farther
- onyx: +ASM, gather or attract dark forces
- milkstone/kyber: +CHR, gather and attract light forces
