Denizens of the Donut,

One of the problems many players have had with the imbuement system over
the years is the relative rarity of getting an imbuement stone that you
actually feel is useful to you. As such, many players have collected tons
of stones in their lapidarium that they feel are little more than junk.
Well - that junk now might just prove useful to you!

Karkadelt and I had tea today, and he explained to me that lapidarium
technology has improved quite a lot thanks to a bet he recently won with
the Elders of Mt. Nevermind. Evidently he was able to draw on a bit of
Gnomish expertise. This, coupled with his own gifts of enchantment have
lead to new realities with the lapidariums most of you carry around with
you.

Now, it will be possible to <convert> junk stones into stones you find
more useful. Karkadelt was saying to me that it doesn't matter what
stones you use, either. The only thing that matters is stone quality. So,
if you want a particular stone, you can make one using any five stones
of the same quality (e.g. "cracked", "ordinary", etc.) So, the next time
you get a stone that could be used to increase your resistance to earth
elemental magic, there is no need to shake your fists at the heavens! Simply
toss that baby into the conversion apparatus along with four other stones
you don't care about, and you could have a mercurystone or whatever is your
fancy instead.

Please mail me with anything that seems amiss with this system. Otherwise,
enjoy, and happy converting!

p.s. You may need to relog to get a new lapidarium. If you <exa> your
lapidarium and do not see the ability to <convert> stones, you will know
this to be true in your case.
