	We at the Arcanum were very excited to hear about the discovery of these old Temples. The architecture, the ancient decorations, the Guardians themselves -- these things are a window into the vanished past.

	The most fascinating thing about these Temples, of course, is the transformational mechanisms contained within. It's unclear what these 'skill gems' did for the previous peoples of Dereth, but for the transplanted Isparians they allow us to modify ourselves in quite miraculous ways. I know that there has been some outcry about what this type of modification might do to us as a people in the long run, but I for one am much more interested in the technical implications of these mechanisms than in the ethical subtleties they may conceal.		\| How Obtained =

	In fact, by careful study, and with the help of my brilliant and dedicated fellows, I have fashioned what I call 'attribute gems'. These gems are similar in function to the 'skill gems' created by the ancients, except that they work to modify our underlying attributes -- our strength and so forth. They are not as efficient as the skill gems -- I am afraid that you can only bolster one attribute at the expense of another. In addition, you can only modify the innate level of the attribute -- not any levels that you have built up through the experience of living.		\| In fact, by careful study, and with the help of my brilliant and dedicated fellows, I have fashioned what I call 'attribute gems'.

I believe that giving the body some time to recover between uses, however, will minimize this.
	~~----~~		\| The gems themselves do nothing -- you must combine them before they can be used. You should choose a red gem that corresponds to the attribute you wish to lower, and a green gem that corresponds to the attribute you wish to raise. Combine these and you will have a transfer gem.
			\| Use the transfer gem to transfer from one attribute to the other. If the innate levels of your attribute -- that is, the levels of that attribute that you were born with -- are not sufficient or are already as much as a human body can contain, then you will be unable to proceed, so choose your modifications carefully and with some thought.
