I came across this on accident, if you believe.

It stemmed from me misunderstanding his formula.

But I was thinking and writing out formulas(or something) during school and came up with an idea for an even better gem.

And I was right.

This is Psorek's formula, in a Grade 8 dual OB gem.

His method is -

A=(g+g)+((g+g)+g)
B=((((((g+g)+g)+g)+g)+g)+g)
C=(g+g)
D=(((B+C)+C)+A)

Where G = dual OB gem(he makes 16 of them, and then does the above with them)

My gem, on the other hand, looks like this-

Here's my formula-

Here, gB means a bloodbound grade 1 gem. gO means a mana leech grade 1 gem.

A=(gO+gB)+((gO+gB)+gO)
B=((((((gO+gB)+gO)+gO)+gO)+gO)+gO)
C=(gO+gB)
D=(((B+C)+C)+A)

E=(gO+gB)+((gO+gB)+gB)
F=((((((gO+gB)+gB)+gB)+gB)+gB)+gB)
G=(gO+gB)
H=(((F+G)+G)+E)

I = (D + H)

Finished grade 5 gem.

To repeat, just subsitute the grade 1 pure gems for Grade X - 1(where X = grade of the mana gem) supergemmed gems that are supergemmed by psoreks old formula(my formula requires dual gems to work).

If you just use psorek's formula to upgrade after G5, you lose about 4% extra specials. Which continues to grow, I believe.

So there it is. Comments, critiques? I think this works because the Specced Method works- see how I make the grade 4s dominant in one color? And then combine them.

Anyway, hope you enjoy this stuff c:
