	Sages have speculated for a long time on why Elves and 
Half-Elves have been able to use this magic to great extent, while 
Humans cannot.  Most speculate that it is because of the nature of the 
elves with the world around them give them this unique ability, while 
only a rare handful of humans are able to invoke the most mundane of 
this magic, which sages speculate that those who can use this magic, 
has some trace of elven blood somewhere in his or her lineage, but this 
has yet to be proven.

	Using this magic is at best a tricky art as it is still an 
unperfected form.  Mages of this art must inscribe runes into valuable 
gemstones to act as focusing agents for their spells. Why this is, 
nobody yet knows, but few other mediums are known to exist that is able 
to focus the magical energies properly so as not to cause harm to the 
mage and his allies. Since it is a tricky magical art, the very vessels 
that are used by the mage can also be consumed by his or her magic. 
Gems have a chance of being consumed based on the level of the magic 
user shown on the chart below.

On a roll of 1, the gem is consumed in the magic.  Also after a spell is
cast the gem used must be allowed to "rest" 1 turn before being used 
again or else another casting of the scribed spell will automatically
consume the gem.

Runes must be scribed on the proper valued stone also.
1st and 2nd level runes must be inscribed on no less than Ornamental stones (10gp)
3rd and 4th on Semi-Precious stones (50gp)
5th and 6th on Fancy stones (100gp)
7th, 8th, and 9th level on Precious (500gp)

This is assumed that the spell in particular doesn't require a particular gem type
or material componet value, otherwise that gem type or value must be used. 
Example: Identify a first level spell requires a pearl of no less than 100 gp value.

Other skills: Bonus Non Weapon Proficiency of Appraising: Gems 
The ability to create non-written magical items at 9th level.
