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 and Snidley so far have the skills to work chakrel.
Forms
Chakrel has three forms: rough, perfect, and weapons grade.
Rough Chakrel
Look: the lump of uncut reddish-orange stone contains slender black streaks and a white flame-shaped inclusion at its heart
Perfect Chakrel
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 use chakrel to speed up the rate at which meditations are activated. The higher the grade, the faster the improvement.
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 and Snidley are the only ones 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.
