BlissGems Expansion

<div align="center">

An official expansion pack for the BlissGems plugin. Eleven new elemental gems, each with its own abilities and passive effects.

</div>

Eleven gems built on the BlissGems addon API. Each one has four abilities and two passives.

Gems come in two tiers. A Tier 1 gem gives you its first ability and its first passive. Upgrading to Tier 2 unlocks the other three abilities and the second passive.

Abilities draw on the same energy pool as the base plugin and show up in the same cooldown bar. Every cooldown is set in config.yml, so you can retune any of them without touching the jar.

Area attacks skip players you have trusted, so a Blizzard or a Meteor will not land on your own team. Anything an ability spawns, such as turrets, clones and orbiting boulders, is removed when it expires, when the server stops, and on the next startup after a crash.

Controls

Every gem uses the same four inputs:

Passives only apply while the gem is in your off hand.

Control ice and freeze your enemies.

Abilities:

• Ice Wall (15s): Builds a 5x3 wall of packed ice in front of you, block by block. It shatters after 5 seconds.

• Rock Shield (45s): Three boulders orbit you for 10 seconds, damaging and knocking back anything they touch.

Passives:

Toxic Gem

Wield venom and disease.

Gold Gem

Turn your enemies into treasure.

Abilities:

• Midas Touch (15s): A beam of gold strikes the foe in your sights for 7 damage and gilds them for 5 seconds with Slowness IV, Mining Fatigue III and Weakness II. It looks for a target before it spends the cooldown, so a shot into empty air costs you nothing.
• Golden Aegis (30s): Four gold blocks orbit you for 10 seconds while you hold Absorption III and Resistance. Anything they clip takes 4 damage and is thrown back.
• Gold Rush (45s): Gold rains onto a 6 block area 7 blocks ahead of you for 8 seconds, dealing 3 damage and Slowness once a second to everyone caught in it.
• Midas Domain (60s): A golden dome expands to 10 blocks and holds for 10 seconds. You gain Regeneration II and Strength. Everyone else is damaged, dragged towards the centre, and weighed down by Slowness and Mining Fatigue that climb from I to IV the longer they stay inside.

Passives:

• Gilded Luck: Permanent Luck, and a trail of gold dust at your feet.
• Golden Constitution (Tier 2): Permanent Absorption.

Chrono Gem

Your past is a place you can still go back to.

The gem quietly records where you have been for the last five seconds, and two of its abilities spend that recording.

Abilities:

• Rewind (30s): Your trail unspools backwards and drops you where you stood five seconds ago, with the health you had then — capped at your current maximum, so it heals but never overheals. Needs a full recording, so it does nothing in the first seconds after you log in.
• Stasis (30s): Freezes the foe in your sights for 3 seconds — they cannot walk and cannot jump. Costs nothing if you are not aiming at anyone.
• Time Dilation (45s): A field 8 blocks wide holds for 10 seconds. Inside it you keep Speed II and Haste II while everyone else drags under Slowness III and Mining Fatigue II.
• Echo (60s): A copy of you walks your recorded path from five seconds ago, hitting anything within 2 blocks of it for 4 damage twice a second.

Passives:

• Quickened: Permanent Haste.
• Reversion (Tier 2): Permanent Regeneration.

Gravity Gem

Weight is a weapon.

Abilities:

• Crush (15s): Slams the foe in your sights into the ground for 6 damage and pins them there for 4 seconds with Slowness IV and no ability to jump. Looks for a target before it spends the cooldown.
• Levitate (30s): Lifts one foe helplessly for 2.5 seconds, then cuts the effect and drops them.
• Singularity (45s): A well opens and drags everything within 10 blocks towards it for 5 seconds, then collapses for 12 damage to anyone still within 6 blocks.
• Inversion (60s): A dome 12 blocks wide holds for 8 seconds and takes gravity away from everyone inside it. When it ends they all come down at once.

Passives:

• Light Step: Permanent Jump Boost II.
• Heavy Presence (Tier 2): Anything within 4 blocks of you is slowed.

Storm Gem

The sky answers to you.

Abilities:

• Chain Lightning (15s): A bolt jumps between up to 5 foes, each within 6 blocks of the last. The first takes 8 damage and every jump after that carries a quarter less.
• Static Field (30s): A charged ring 4 blocks wide follows you for 10 seconds, giving you Speed and shocking anything inside it for 2 damage a second.
• Downburst (45s): Everything within 8 blocks takes 5 damage and is thrown into the air, followed by a shockwave that races out along the ground.
• Thunderdome (60s): A storm dome 12 blocks wide holds for 10 seconds, striking a random foe inside it for 6 damage every second.

Passives:

• Windswept: Permanent Speed.
• Storm Born (Tier 2): Permanent Strength, but only while it is raining or storming where you stand.

Sonic Gem

Sound that armour cannot stop.

Every point of damage this gem deals goes through the same channel the Warden uses, which means armour and shields do not reduce any of it.

Abilities:

• Sonic Boom (15s): A 40 degree cone reaching 12 blocks. Everyone caught in it takes 8 piercing damage and is thrown back.
• Echolocation (30s): For 15 seconds you alone see every living thing within 30 blocks, straight through walls. Nothing is revealed to anyone else.
• Deafen (30s): Strips one foe of their senses for 8 seconds with Blindness, Nausea II and Darkness. Costs nothing if you are not aiming at anyone.
• Resonance (60s): Four pulses, one a second. The first three deal 2 piercing damage each; the fourth reaches 10 blocks for 10 piercing damage and throws everyone clear.

Passives:

• Silent Step: Mobs within 16 blocks lose interest in you.
• Deep Hearing (Tier 2): You feel every living thing within 12 blocks, through walls.
