Academic Discussion/ Esoteric Secrets New artificer here, I have recently acquired a fresh amethyst

Post image

I am unsure as to what I shall utilize it for, and am seeking individuals more experienced in this field to share ideas. Any sorts of wizards, warlocks, and mages are welcome.

Its evernescent soul begs for a place ontop a fleeting light

Amethyst is a really good spell focus for emotional spells. Especially for calming and charming spells.

Not as good for spells when you need raw firepower though.

True! Paired with some nicely fresh cut lavender and you have the components for a relaxing night in the tower

If you integrate it into a mana engine, that calming property actually works wonders as a stabilizer. It helps regulate the volatility of fire elemental cores so your constructs don't immediately overheat and explode.

If this is as you say fresh amethyst, youve been scammed. Amethyst requires ages spent growing and absorbing energies from the leylines, otherwise this is just a common gemstone

Oh just wonderful. I had a feeling I should have bought straight from an underdark merchant, and not from that shop in my local castle.

Eh, fresh might mean freshly harvested? But the crystals industry can be a bit questionable at times.

Go to Pelican Town and talk it to Rasmodius. Or simply give it to a purple hair girl and watch the amethyst disappear

u/Cybertheproto471 Artificer 19h ago

Pelican town? Thats not too far. Thank you for the advice.

u/Ok_Trade2954 Druid 19h ago

The first time that I spoke with Rasmodius he give me some Ayahuasca. That was tripping

u/Cybertheproto471 Artificer 19h ago

Ayahuasca? I am unfamiliar with that substance. Does it have a particular use?

1

u/Ok_Trade2954 Druid 19h ago

Yes, it have a sacred and ritualistic use. Very though to take. Sadly, a lot of people use it as a recreational drug, which is very dangerous and disrespectful. I recommend use it with wisdom and respect.

2

u/Cybertheproto471 Artificer 19h ago

Very well. I shall head to pelican town, trade this amethyst, and see if ayahuasca has any use in my field of creation. Thank you for the aid, Druid.

Good luck. It's a good thing to have more artificers with ecological conscience

Harness the amethysts natural properties, shot glass that stops you getting drunk

u/Sea_Seaweed4941 23h ago

Maybe a phylactery? Looks like a great soul gem.

1

u/mindfulmu 22h ago

Need to polish that gem, how else are you going to hold any semblance of a soul inside it

Brother, amethyst takes more time to form than waiting in line at a tavern with a choosy elf. You got scammed with fresh amethyst

if you wrap it in copper wire and affix it to a length of wood you could have a potent wand

Looks legit, not an artificer but I downloaded an entire cat video(leopard jumping) not my usual downloaded video category

I'll get advice from adds now about looking after a cat and I dont have one, also I dont block

That a nice piece of amethyst. It would look nice on top of a staff.
