Gems of Magic

Gems of Magic
The gems of magic are powerful artefacts. They essentially grant great power over their respective schools, and there is a single gem for each. It is said that he who can gather all 8 gems would have the strength to rewrite the fabric of magic to however they wish.

Each gem can be used as a spell focus for a spellcaster of any class. Using a gem negates the cost of any material components, and is not consumed. However, this can have repercussions when substituting a material component of a spell that has a value attached to it. Spells may not function entirely as intended.

Each gem is capable of empowering all spells attributed to their relevant school. When casting a spell while using the gem as a spell focus, all spells are considered as being cast as a single level higher than the spell slot used. For example, casting Fireball at 3rd level while using the Ruby of Evocation results in a 4th level Fireball, while still using the 3rd level spell slot. If you were to attempt to cast a 4th level Fireball, you would cast a 5th level Fireball, expending a 4th level slot.
