Cutting — The character can cut a gem to a specific purpose, shaping its magical potential. Cuts are purpose-based and can be applied to any clean gem.

On learning this skill, the character must choose one of the following starting cuts and seals: First Restorative Cut and Seal of Lesser Healing First Enhancing Cut and Seal of Mending First Knowledge Cut and Seal of Spirit Reading With research, the character can learn additional cuts and seals across all purposes and tiers. Note: Etched gems expire three years after the seal is applied and cannot be maintained or renewed. See Gem Cutting and Cleansing for full details on processes, costs and available purposes. Note: This skill grants 5 Work Units per day. The number of work units the character can benefit from each day depends on their cap. See Magic Points, Stamina and Work Units for more.
