Item: Fleshgem (Earthspeaker)
Originally developed as a body modification by oreads, fleshgems are crystals that can be implanted in the skin of a creature of any ancestry. While a fleshgem can be applied anywhere on the body for cosmetic purposes, the most common usage among adventurers is to implant them at the base of the fingers, to be used like brass knuckles.
You siphon your fleshgem's power, and the earth around you erupts in crystal stalagmites.
Activate 1 to 2 command
Frequency once per day
Requirements You are standing on the ground
Effect The ground around you erupts in a 10-foot burst of knee-high crystal shards that remain for 1 round, or 1 minute if you spent two actions. To all creatures other than you, the area is difficult terrain as well as hazardous terrain. Creatures that move through a space containing crystal shards take 2 piercing damage.
Trait Effects
Invested: A character can invest only 10 magical items that have the invested trait. None of the magical effects of the item apply if the character hasn’t invested it, nor can it be activated, though the character still gains any normal benefits from wearing the physical item (like a hat keeping rain off their head).
Primal: This magic comes from the primal tradition, connecting to the natural world and instinct. Anything with this trait is magical. A creature with this trait is primarily constituted of or has a strong connection to primal magic.
