Think of a jewel sparkling many different colors very quickly - enough to bother those with epilepsy. These are valuable because they can be used to make armor and weapons which give resistant to ALL the elements, but also because they are used to capture the essence of a person's soul, including their memories. For this reason, some of the very rich and influential of the land desire these. Because if they die, they can transfer part of their soul from a Soul Gem back into a host body. However, only the most pure and unblemished Soul Gems can capture all the essence of something as complicated as a soul. Those who put their souls in lesser gems and then are transfered to a host body find they have memories missing, or they hate those who they once loved, or their personalities are fundamentally different than before.*Basically, I made this item as a way to bring back a memorable villain if they died too early.Biomimic Gel -This is a type of special liquid I introduced to my campaign. It is only ever available to high level wizards/sorcerers, and those are always working for the government/king in some way. It can be used for illegal cloning (goes hand in hand with the Soul Gems listed above), creating dopplegangers, super potions, medicines for curing otherwise incurable diseases, enhancing hallucinogenics (without the side effects), creating human/dragon hybrids, and even can be used to create new types of dragons. Possessing this usually means a death sentence if you are caught. The gel is extremely expensive because of its many uses, and gel in the hands of a vengeful alchemist usually means trouble for entire kingdoms.In my current campaign, an old lady alchemist that has helped the PCs in the past have enlisted the help of the PCs to get some of this gel. The PCs were debating whether to take her along, and her argument was that this material was so dangerous, they couldn't afford NOT to take her, and it is better in the hands of someone they can trust than potentially in the hands of their enemies. It is good they decided to trust her, because there is an enemy who wants to turn himself into a half-dragon. (Was gonna use this: <a href="http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/630/mb09600sether.jpg" target="_blank">http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/630/mb09600sether.jpg</a> as the miniature once the guy transforms himself, its a cheap Mega Bloks Dragon Egg.)It was an interesting debate the PCs had, and some were reluctant to deal with illegal substances. But they eventually felt they could trust her with it. I am planning on rewarding them, with possibly a few super healing potion type things.</blockquote>
