In a sense, yes and no. The Gems are as much apart of me as my magic tends to be. I hand picked and crafted each gem to fit together in a blade suited to my needs.

It was.. painstaking, but rather rewarding.

But, that does have it's downfalls of course. Where I can shatter my blade and command each individual mote to defend or attack, I cannot change the size or overall shape of said blade or it's components.

However, the variety of patterns I can create with each mote more than makes up for it.
