Stone of Change - Eldritch Rituals Cookbook

[Mad_Bombardier]

But it's also possible that an item with no listed ML actually has a value of Null for the ML. While the scripts for checking ML may know to watch for that and interpret it properly, it could certainly confuse the heck out of the scripts doing the binding calculations.

Well, MT was right and I was wrong. Dang you and your correct hypotheses!

(Standard): Stone of Change success with Ritual of Binding! Consumed: 400 Khyber Dragonshard Fragments. Created: Battleaxe. Battleaxe becomes Battleaxe.

I bound a normal, non-masterwork Battleaxe and it charged me maximum shards as if it were a ml:20 item. Off to bug report.

*Be prepared to pay 400 Khyber Dragonshard Fragments to bind no min level items.*

Ouch, Sorry about that. It may explain why I errored out as I had just under 200 shards. Thanks. Now to collect those shards as I really need to bind the item. If it takes my 400 shards I will bug report it on the spot at that time.

Again real sorry about that.

On the bright side that battleaxe is never going to take perm damage.

Theory


Material Essence + Gem equals stats

Diluted Material Essence + Clouded Gem of Escalation = Dexterity (I have confirmed this. Both with air and fire foci)
Diluted Material Essence + Clouded Gem of Opposition = Strength
Diluted Material Essence + Clouded Gem of Domination = Charisma

Ethereal Essence + Gem Equals Effect
Ethereal Essence + Gem of Opposition = Some kind of Defense (with positive foci this equals + AC insight bonus)

I have no problem taking one for the team (as long as it gets fixed/documented). Go team discovery!

I'm fairly certain this doesn't work, but I'd be willing to try it once. Essentially, split one pile of raw materials into two, place those two piles in the device, along with two other piles, and see what happens.

Ah, you are using whole piles. Thats interesting. So either the recipes have to be unique, or it uses the first matching recipe in the table. I have been breaking off singles for everything so far. Well, I was planning to test the other 109 anyway if no one else had, so I will go forward with that.

Anyone tried anything like

Power Cell + Signet Stone + Oil + Taper + Stone of Battle?

Haven't seen anyone try using the stones for anything other than making the Signet stone...

Taojeff has reported this Theory...on the Effect of Gem Types in Shard Creation

**NB This cant be 100% correct because I have noted so far that Escalation has produced both Charisma and Dexterity Effects...but he may be on track for something else to be clarified..... (Cambo)

I suspected Ethereal vs Material had that kind of pattern. So if the dex enchantment was successful with either the Air or Fire foci, maybe those just set the "combo bonus" path?

[Cambo]

Looks like the item effect possibilities is huge:

Have broken them down to see if some pattern emerges..It does seem that different weapons have diffeerent results but will start with a basic guide.

I might need to sort these by Gem type or Essence type to see the pattern.....

Seems to weaken Taojeff's theory a little though (Material + Escalation give Dex 2 times and Energy absorbtion another.)

Great commander Googles has been posted. but beware

I followed the recipe for the goggles but, i didn't get the same item as posted. The first part is +10hp and +1 con. The only thing that may be off is the 2 differnt recipes for wondrous oil. Which was used for your wiz6 goggles plz?

From Laurenthis RISIA Thread on the topic.

I just tried (all have Signet Stone + Power Cell):
Stone of Might + Red Taper + Balm = fail.

Thinking that colors might have something do with it we tried:
Stone of Foresight (green) + Green Taper + Balm = fail

Then thinking maybe we can replace the Green Taper with the Green stone:
Filaments of Toil + Stone of Foresight (Green) + Balm = fail

And for the heck of it we replaced balm with the stone:
Filaments of Toil + Green Taper + Stone of Foresight (Green) = fail

[Ladywolf]

Great Commander Googles of Wizardry VI
Stacking bonus to all Charisma skills + 3 (+1&+2 that stack), True Resurection, Wizardry VI, +50 Spell points (ie 200 all up) ..Still 1 upgrade to come ??
Because the googles get the commander name, I presume it gets special bonus upgrades because the "perfect/predestined" upgrades were put on it.
