Quadav’s proclivity for long spans of study and concentration makes them natural geomancers.
Prerequisite(s): Quadav, geomancer.
BENEFIT
Quadavs can augment their geomancer spell-casting through the use of precious and semiprecious gemstones as additional material components (see Table: Quadav Gem Magic below). The gems are destroyed in the process, granting the spell the listed effects in addition to its normal effects unless otherwise noted. Only one instance of quadav gem magic can be applied to a spell at a time; excess expended gems do not stack. The quadav must be able to cast the listed spells to gain the effect.
