Along with the ability to bless spells into gems, Clerics will be able to bless deity powers into gems. This is more restrictive and takes much more skill than normal spell blessing. Currently, there are 5 common blessing spells available to Clerics.

The tiers are as follows:

1. Silver to Gold
This spell enables a player to transform a solid silver object to a gold object upon a successful attempt. The primary target for this ability is the silver slabs created from vaporizing a treasure box full of coins. Players may also use this gem on silver wands to create golden wands. This gem is useable by everyone and has 1 to 3 charges max.
Requirements: Blessing Lore 25 skill/5 ranks, Religion Lore 50 skill/10 ranks, Gem Value >= 1.

2. Brimstone
Once thrown or tossed in a room, a gem imbued with this spell will attempt to strike creatures in the room. This is dependent upon the character’s skill, the gem value, and the level of the creatures in the room. The gem is useable by everyone and has 1 charge.
Requirements: Summoning Lore 25 skill/5 ranks, Blessing Lore 25 skill/5 ranks, Religion Lore 70 skill/15 ranks, and Gem Value >=1001.

3. Nexus
This spell imbues a gem with the power of transporting the Cleric and companions to a preset location. The Cleric will set a bind location by tapping the gem in the desired destination room, and then activates the gem by rubbing it. This form of transportation must adhere to the same area restrictions as a gold ring would. The chance of creating a successful Nexus portal depends on the skill of the user along with the value of the gem. The difficulty becomes harder if the room that the Cleric is teleporting from contains hostile creatures. The gem is only useable by Clerics and has 1 charge.
Requirements: Summoning Lore 50 skill/10 ranks, Blessing Lore 25 skill/5 ranks, Religion Lore 90 skill/20 ranks, and Gem Value >=2001.

4. Chrism
This spell imbues a gem with two different abilities. Firstly, when used as a pre-resurrection ritual, the gem must be waved over the body of the corpse by a Cleric. Upon resurrection the previously dead player will have an enhanced rate of recovery to their health, mana and spirit pools. Also, the Death’s Sting penalty will be lessened by a certain percentage. Secondly, when used upon the living, the gem has the power to bestow the ability for other players to enter a state of meditation like Clerics, Empaths and Savants. They will receive an enhanced rate of recovery to their health, mana and spirit pools as well. This only lasts for a set amount of time and will only work in rooms where one can meditate. The gem is only useable by Clerics and has 1 charge.
Requirements: Summoning Lore 70 skill/15 ranks, Blessing Lore 50 skill/10 ranks, Religion Lore 105 skill/25 ranks, and Gem Value >=3001.
