Crafters of Treasure

Jewelcrafters have had a small part to play in the history of ability users.

During the time before, there were few to almost no Jewelcrafters. It is to be assumed that these folks were wealthy, being able to make jewelry and treasure. In the ancient times when there were more, there was more treasure being created. This treasure would be stored in secure locations, however it was often not made for the purpose of others finding that treasure.

During the age of myth something amazing happened! Jewelcrafters discovered they could create special crystals with energy materials. This ability was well hidden though, and several jewelcrafters became wealthy merchants. In several cases Analysts and Jewelcrafters would work together. They created new things and sold them to adventures and the like. One Jewelcrafter got the idea to hide pieces and sell treasure maps. It was a surprisingly good business. Selling an adventure was better business than they expected. These merchants began trading not just treasure and maps but also information. You see, as people began to visit them, they would get a lot of talking. Questing had begun and mysterious cases of treasures not created by jewelcrafters began to arise. Who could be responsible for this? In any case, it was an interesting time for them.

Then less people began coming. Something was wrong. People hunting ability users would show up sometimes, however they didn't recognize the jewelcrafters and analysts as ability users. The merchants began trading information not just for money but also to help ability users. The Jewelcrafters and analysts could travel and work safely compared to the others. The Jewelcrafters had created a secret trade between hiding ability users.

As this continued into the secret era the jewelcrafters continued to act as go betweens for various groups. A secret trade as it was called. Secret Trades became popular ways of obtaining special materials for others to use, however the secret of the crystals was still well kept.

Even during the era of light the trade continued, some secret and some not. The rarer ingredients were harder to get. Perhaps it was due to the treasure maps of old, but some jewelcrafters played up their roles as merchants in the "secret trade".

In the modern era new places were created for ability users. These new places were often well stocked with all sorts of areas. Areas to compete, train and fight, and areas to sell barter and trade. They even had areas selling food made by ability users! These places became hubs for ability users to do stuff in. With all this collaboration something was done that hadn't been done before. Jewelcrafters shared the secret they had been hiding. They can make magic crystals of different types! How many types is currently unknown as things are being discovered but it seems like a lot. They had no idea crystal tech would make a comeback!

Let's look at the ability a little bit. Like an Alchemist and mage they can make crystals from energy, however they make different non-elemental ones as well! They can also make gems from crystals and minerals making them different from Alchemists. These gems have powers! They can also make treasure from metal and crystals. Precious metals can be used in all sorts of constructions, however normal metals are best used in certain ways.
