Default Re: Gem usage

No, I know thats not exactly right Lch.

You can use a gem to increase your effective level. Increasing your effective level will allow you to cast a spell you couldn't cast; increasing your level also reduces the fatigue you would otherwise incur from a spell. Fatigue = 1/((Current level - required level) +1) * spell fatigue * province modifier + caster encumbrance etc.

The manual says that you can use one gem (only) for this purpose (aka increasing a level) - this is where I think Lch was slightly wrong - not once for boosting a level and other times for reducing fatigue).

I guess the simple test on the other is see if an F1 mage can cast will o whisp multiple times.
