Gems take on a new look

Tired of grabbing that star ruby when you're trying to get that ordinary ruby on the ground? Rejoice, then, for effective immediately, several ambiguously named gems have been slightly renamed.

Four gems are affected by this change: First, "a ruby" and "an emerald" are now "an uncut ruby" and "an uncut emerald" respectively. Second, "a pale green moonstone" and "a pale blue moonstone" have been changed slightly so that you may use the color to reference the stone, e.g. "get blue moonstone" will now work.

Existing gems will not be renamed. All systems that use any of the changed gems have been updated to work with either the new or old version.

Cheers,
GM Bernt
