Gemcasters are rare. Few are those who learn the arts of Stone Mastery, and fewer of those appreciate the utility and power of gem magic to its fullest extent. Only on the wrist of one of these very few individuals will you ever find a gemcaster.
Despite their rarity, a gemcaster is an artifact of simple construction. It's typically made of chains and stone gem settings although some are made of more comfortable or common materials. Setting the gems in stone allows the Stone Master to swap gems in and out of the gemcaster as he or she desires.
Stabilization enchantments are common in gemcasters. These enchantments reduce the stress to the inset gem created from drawing forth the gem's power. Some stone masters request an emergency reserve of PPE to be installed, and those who intend to use a gemcaster for personal protection often enhance the apparatus to further accomdate those needs.
