Weird use of gems in battle?

[chrispedersen]

page 89:

"a mage may never increase his skill level by more than one using by using gems."

Ie., the mage may use 1 gem to increase his level (to cast a spell or to reduce fatigue).


the ai will always use 1 gem for fatigue reduction if it will put you over 100 fatigue.

Or choose not to cast the spell of course...

You can only use one gem to increase your path level, which is what i said. But you can spend extra gems after that to reduce fatigue as if you had increased your path level, but without the other benefits of increased path level (ie, no additional benefits to level-dependent effects).

So you can spend far more gems than 1 to decrease fatigue, but only the first actually increases your effective path level for other purposes.
