| − | Power stones are a 'one thing' only sort of booster. So, technically, you 'could' have a power stone that grants enhanced Essence attraction (duplicating Wiz rankings).

Revision as of 01:45, 9 May 2017
Some people get super-powers from a power object. There are a wide variety of power objects, not all of which are power gems.
Examples:
- The Lamplighter, who has a lantern that gives him Powers as the Plot Demands.[1]
- Nightgaunt, who obtained his powers from a power gem. He's also an example of the problem with power gems: they can be taken from you.[2]
- Splendor of the Cadet Crusaders, who gets her powers from several power gems.[3]
- Dragonrider obtained three cultured power gems from Nephandus in exchange for information.[4].
Splendor bought her power gems; this is not the usual means of obtaining them if its known what they are. In Splendor's case, the seller didn't know what they had. More common is how Vamp obtained power gems; she stole them from Nightgaunt, who apparently didn't secure them all that well to his belt. Another means of obtaining them is "aggressive bargaining"; "I'll exchange your children for your power item."[5]
There may be a link between Power Gems and Dynamorphs, as Dynamorphs can also become attuned to various inanimate objects.[6] However, Green Witch mentions that it's uncertain whether Red Thunder's Power Gem contains a dynamorph or not.[7]
There are also those 'cultured power stones' "that mad scientists make when they try to create artificial power stones".[8]
- Power stones are a 'one thing' only sort of booster. So, technically, you 'could' have a power stone that grants enhanced Essence attraction (duplicating Wiz rankings). Without a lit Well, it wouldn't have any visible impact - it'd be drawing Essence to someone incapable of accumulating it. Working magick would involve skill and knowledge that just wouldn't be there. And just as you can have spells (or devises) that create the effect of any given power... using TK, throwing lightning, using fire as a shield, etc... a power stone 'could' duplicate that one 'technique'. The key there being 'technique' as opposed to duplicating the whole trait.[9]
