Properties:

Chuanyang of Xiansai designed a gem which would transport magical energies from their target to the workshop of his greatest competitor, Chau Thanh. He created several copies of this gem before he mysteriously disappeared.

Notes[]

  • The damage reduced is any Elemental Damage type except Physical.
  • Damage reduction is multiplicative to other similar modifiers; resistance bonus stacks directly to other similar enhancements.

Tips[]

  • As most Physical attacks are melee, this gem may be especially useful to ranged classes, who are generally not engaging in close combat either way.
