Chakrel

Chakrel is a unique reddish-orange gemstone found in/near old and inactive lava tube. It can be substituted for a flame when Barbarians MEDITATE on their Inner Fire. Chakrel is a hard material and extremely difficult to work with; only Vishlan is known to be able to work chakrel.

Forms

Chakrel has three forms: rough, perfect, and weapons grade.

Rough Chakrel

Meditating on rough chakrel shows the status of your Inner Fire. As when meditating on a real flame, there is a delay.
Look: the lump of uncut reddish-orange stone contains slender black streaks and a white flame-shaped inclusion at its heart

Perfect Chakrel

Meditating on perfect chakrel instantly shows the status of your Inner Fire.
Look: the carefully shaped reddish-orange stone contains slender black streaks and a perfect white flame-shaped inclusion exactly centered inside the stylized flame.

Weapons Grade

Meditating on this chakrel will fully restore your Inner Fire. This type of chakrel is found in the rare chakrel-embedded weapons.
Look: The reddish-orange stone from which this large faceted chakrel orb is cut contains slender black streaks surrounding a large white flame-shaped inclusion at its heart.

Uses:

Barbarians may use chakrel in place of a flame to perform meditations to learn of their Inner Fire level. Chakrel jewelry requires that it be held, and either a five-second round time penalty while standing or the user be kneeling.

In addition, certain very rare items have a form of chakrel that will increase a Barbarian's Inner Fire regeneration rate.

Alterations:

While chakrel may be altered by very rare merchants (Vishlan is the only one currently known), regardless of the form it finally takes, it must retain the reference to the "reddish-orange stone contains slender black streaks and a white flame-shaped inclusion at its heart." As of this update, chakrel is not allowed to be placed into anything but jewelry type items.
