After numerous splintered staves, shattered jewels, and countless hours of
hard work, the jewellers of Arda are ready to put their recent discoveries
into practice.

Through trial and error, a number of new possibilities for enhancing a magical
staff has been discovered. Some combinations of power, however, will
dangerously threaten the integrity of a staff, and the jewellers have agreed to
limit their work to what's reasonably safe.


OOC:
There are seven more gems that can be embedded. Some gems (old and new) are
considered MAJOR gems, and a staff can only hold a limited number of these.
Some gems will turn a staff into a usable items, and a staff can only hold one
of these.

Some of these gems are old, some are new. Some load in places that already
existed, and some in new places.


DISMANTLE:
For a limited time, the same shopkeepers who will embed items into a staff, can
remove everything embedded. This is done with the dismantle command and it
costs 10 gold. Note that this command is only available for a limited time of
at most a couple of RL months. If you are experimenting, you are recommended to
dismantle your staff before renting. If you have rented/retired characters with
staves, you'll have to log them on to dismantle it while the command is
available.
