About: Black sapphire   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.webdatacommons.org associated with source dataset(s)

A black sapphire (but not a normal sapphire) could be used to enhance the effects of a wand, that contained a spell of the subschool of darkness. Only one could be built in per wand and once built in the wand's darkness spell magic either got harder for the target to resist or the strength behind the spell increased. Effectively, adding a black sapphire was a way for the crafter to substitute his lack of skill and need to burn his essence to create a strong darkness-wand with money (5000 gold as mentioned above).

  • A black sapphire (but not a normal sapphire) could be used to enhance the effects of a wand, that contained a spell of the subschool of darkness. Only one could be built in per wand and once built in the wand's darkness spell magic either got harder for the target to resist or the strength behind the spell increased. This was a very attractive method for wand crafters to increase their wand's effectiveness. Normally crafting stronger wands required more spellcasting skills from the crafter, which he may not possess. The other aspect was more interesting. Normally, crafting any kind of magic item burnt some of the inner essence of the crafter, the stronger the item the more was burned. Adding a gem was a way to increase the effectiveness of a wand without sacrificing one's own essence. Effectively, adding a black sapphire was a way for the crafter to substitute his lack of skill and need to burn his essence to create a strong darkness-wand with money (5000 gold as mentioned above).
