The Continuum is a 'dead' divine creche, meaning that whatever divine beings were born there have long since grown up and departed (as opposed to the cosmic planes with half-formed where the divine beings never fully developed--or as opposed to the cosmic plane of the Vortex where the divine beings had never formed). Researchers from the Matrix Institute have used the abandoned crystal creches to tap into the harmonic energies of the Continuum. They've also learned to harness these energies into gemstones. While this has given them very powerful abilities, it also ends up being very expensive as the Institute constantly looks to fill their supply of gemstones. Historically, this has led them to many conflicts (especially with dwarves) as the Institute believed that all gemstones should come to them for the greater good. | ||

You can spin a charged ruby crystal, which will attack with balls of balefire that causes damage and a slight timewarp. Unlike other gems, this gem spins around the target and follows him or her. However, there is a 50% chance the gem will explode (and do the standard ruby damage to the target one last time) whenever the target moves (unless target is resonating with caster in which case there is only a 20% chance). You can have multiple rubies (up to 7) around a target. | |||

You can create a crystal spire in a location in the Continuum. If you are about to die on the Continuum, the spire will automatically drain itself of 25 power and protect you from death. The spire can hold up to 100 power and will last indefinitely so long as the creator uses it at least once in a Lusternian year. Also, if you are physically in an adjacent room to the spire, your health, mana and ego will be doubled (note this benefit is ONLY in adjacent rooms, not the same room as the spire). | You can create a crystal spire in a location in the Continuum.
