Gwethdesuan (obsolete)

Gwethdesuans (gweths for short) are Moon Mage enchantments worn upon the head that allow one to broadcast one's thoughts to every gweth-wearer within range. Some must be tapped to activate, others need only to be donned. All gwethdesuans have the ability to receive thoughts, but two types are unable to send them. All gwethdesuans deactivate if you die or remove them from your head, but some will also deactivate over a period of time or if you tap them. Additionally, with the exception of certain Estate Holder LTB gifts, all gwethdesuans have limited charges and run the risk of shattering each time you activate them.

There are six types of gwethdesuan:

Type	Transmission	Duration	Range	Channel
Kyanite	send/receive	Unlimited	Long	Chorus
Sjatmal	send/receive	Short	Long	Chorus
Lasmodi	receive	Long	Long	Chorus
Jadeite	send/receive	Unlimited	Short	Cacophony
Lantholite	send/receive	Short	Short	Cacophony
Waermodi	receive	Long	Short	Cacophony

There are two channels, one that manifests as a chorus of thoughts (long range) and one that manifests as a cacophony (short range). You can wear gweths in certain combinations, but it's not recommended to use jadeite or kyanite with other gweths of the same type. Also, using either of these with gweths of the same channel and capabilities will cause the jadeite/kyanite gweths to stop working as well when the limited-duration ones shut down.

Sending thoughts is a taxing endeavor, so short messages are the norm for most people.

Each gwethdesuan stone will be set in some sort of metallic chain, though it seems that the type of chain has no bearing on the gweth's functionality.

NOTE: due to the way that Albredine Rings work, messages sent via the gwethdesuan should not begin with a preposition (at, to, with, etc).
