Lesser Invoking:
Using the properties of Alchemical Spiritualism you can Invoke the power within Simi-precious stones. Starting at level 1 you can, as an Action unless otherwise noted, Invoke a stone. When Invoking a stone you activate the stone's Shine effect. You must be wielding the stone to Invoke it. Only un-cracked Simi-precious stones of at least 10gp can be used in Lesser Invoking. When a stone is Invoked to Shine it produces bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet for 6 seconds. The light shining from the stones is considered magical for the purpose of overcoming in world effects or spells such as Darkness.
Crystalline Link:
From your understanding of Alchemical Spiritualism you have learned how to link your aura with the stone's properties. Starting at lvl 1 you may link yourself with stones you have Invoked. This process takes 1 hour and a successful DC 10 Concentration check. You may be linked to a number of stones that you have Invoked equal to your Proficiency Bonus.
While linked to a stone you gain its Link effect. You can unlink from a stone by spending a bonus action. Anti-magic fields will break this link unless the linked mage succeeds in a Concentration check for each linked stone affected. The DM determines the DC score by the power of the anti-magic field. If the stone you are linked to is Shattered or damaged to the point that that it cannot be Invoked the link is broken. When your Link is broken the stone’s Link effect stops immediately. If you fail the Linking Concentration check you cannot attempt to Link to that stone again until you finish a Short or Long Rest.
You remain Linked to a stone while asleep or unconscious. If you die you unlink automatically. If your soul is sent to another plane of existence you are still linked, but can’t use the shine or shatter abilities until your soul is back in the same realm as the stones.
If while Linked to a stone the stone’s Shine or Shatter effect does the same effect as the Link effect the effects do not Stack. The Link effect supersedes the Shine effect for the one Linked to it. Even if the Shine or Shatter effect is better.
(Example: Citrine
Link: Add 10ft to your base movement speed during the first round of combat. If the first round of combat is a surprise round you or one of your allies started, add 20ft instead.
Shine: All creatures within the stone’s light when Invoked gain 10ft to their base movement speed during the first round of combat for 1 hour. A creature can only benefit from this type of stone’s effect once per long rest.
In this case if the Invoker used the Shine effect while Linked to Citrine their movement would not increase by 20ft.)
An Invoker may only Link to one type of Stone at a time even if that stone has subtypes denoted by a “:”.
(Example:
Jade: Black
Link: Once per long rest, gain Immunity to the first Necrotic damage taken.
Shine: All creatures within the stone’s light when Invoked gain Resistance to the first Necrotic damage taken for 1 hour. A creature can only benefit from this type of stone’s effect once per long rest.
Jade: Blue
Link: Once per long rest, gain Immunity to the first Cold damage taken.
Shine: All creatures within the stone’s light when Invoked gain Resistance to the first Cold damage taken for 1 hour. A creature can only benefit from this type of stone’s effect once per long rest.
While the effects are different in that they give Immunity and Resistance to different elemental types they are both still Jade and an Invoker can only be Linked to one of a type of stone at a time.)
Continued Spell Casting:
While your arcane focus has continued down a different path than before you still continue to hone your understanding of arcane magics. Starting at level 2 you are considered 1 level higher in one Arcane spell casting class that you had before gaining this level in Crystalline Invoker when determining spells per day, spells known, and the level of spells known for that class. This increases by 1 at level 4.
(Example:
If your character had 5 levels in Sorcerer when they took their second level in Crystalline Invoker they are considered to be a level 6 in sorcerer when determining spells per day, spells known, and the level of spells known for that class. This increases by 1 at level 4. If they gain a level in Sorcerer going from level 5 to level 6 the increased Continued Spell Casting spell levels remain. A character that went from Sorcerer level 5 to 6 after getting 5 levels in Crystalline Invoker would be casting Sorcerer spells as if they were a level 8 Sorcerer because they got 2 levels of Continued Spell Casting. However, they are still level 6 when determining other Sorcerer aspects such as Sorcerer Hit Dice, Blood line features, etc.)
Crystalline Body:
As your bond with the magic in the stones increases your body changes in response. Parts of your skin hardens and changes to look and feel like the stones you are linked too. Starting at level 2 you gain a +1 to your AC for every 2 stones you are Linked with.
(Players are encouraged to describe how their skin changes. From simple “sleeves” of rough uncut stone or fancy almost scale like gemstone patters of stone down their backs. The only requirement is that it looks like the stones they are Linked to.)
Crystalline Resolve:
Starting at level 2 when you make a Saving Throw you can Shatter one stone you are Linked to in order to reroll the dice. You can do this after your first roll, but before the DM gives the results. You must take the result of the reroll even if it is worse. You can do this once per Long Rest. You cannot use this on Death Saving throws.
Greater Invoking:
Starting at level 3 you can now Invoke from Precious Stones worth at least 500 GP. Precious stones have much more magic held within them. Skilled Invokers can make this power surge, but at great cost. Starting at level 3 you can now choose to activate the Shatter effect of Precious Stones. When a stone is Invoked to Shatter it destroys the stone. Shattering produces twice the amount of light that Shine does.
It also produces a shattering sound that can be heard by everyone, who can hear, within 10 feet baring inworld barriers. Those 15 feet away must make a DC 10 Perception check, plus any additional in world modifiers, to hear it. For each additional 5 feet increase the DC by 5. Shattering does not harm anyone or anything nearby unless the stone's Shatter effect says otherwise.
Crystalline Bond:
Your bond with the power of the stones that you are Linked to has increased to such a degree that you no longer need to have them on your person to Invoke them. You may Invoke from Linked stones as if you were wielding them so long as you have a free hand and the stone is within 10xprofeniecy bonus feet of you. You can still only Invoke from 1 stone per Invoking action.
Should you have the proper resources available you may also spend 1 hour and make a DC 13 Jeweler's Tools ritual to affix a Linked stone to an item such as a sword, shield, armor, ring, etc. While wielding/wearing that item you can Invoke from that Linked stone as if you had a free hand. Failing the attempt to affix the stone does not harm the stone or the object and only loses time.
You may affix a stone to a larger item such as a door, chair, statue, or pillar, but you need a free hand to Invoke them.
You cannot affix a stone to an object within an anti-magic field or to an object that is naturally anti magical.
Crystalline Call:
You may, as a bonus action, call any one item affixed with a stone that you are Linked as long as that item is within 10xprofeniency bonus feet from you, and you would be able to lift the item without needing to make a Strength or Athletics check. The item returns to whatever part of your body it would normal be used with. Your head if it is a hat or helmet, hand if it is a sword or quill, or finger if it is a ring, etc.
You can put a stone on armor, however only the part of the armor that the stone is affixed to will come to you. If you affix a stone on the chest plate of a full set of plate armor only the chest plate will be called to you, though it will still “put itself on” as you would normally wear it if you are capable of doing so. The item has a flight speed of 30 feet per round and moves in a straight line. However, it can make small adjustments to fit comfortably without harming the Invoker. A helm would arc up and sit directly on the head of the Invoker, slowing down at the last moment, even if at an odd angle when called.
Crystalline Repair:
You may attempt a magical ritual to repair a stone bringing back its true brilliance. If you have a cracked or broken stone unsuited for Invoking you may spend 1 hour and GP equal to the value of an Invoking quality version of that stone, minus the amount the broken one is worth, to make a DC 12 + Stone Mod Jeweler's Tools check to repair the stone making it of Invoking quality. On a failed save the stone is destroyed.
Major Invoking:
You may, once per long rest, Invoke two stones with one Standard Action.
Crystalline Expertise:
You gain expertise in Jeweler's Tools or a Gem related tool of your choice.
Crystalline Familiar:
You gain a familiar of living Simi-precious or Precious stone. The familiar can be any familiar from a familiar list of an Arcane class and keeps all its normal effects and abilities. Except it is now made of one Simi-precious or Precious stone from the Crystalline Invoker stone list that the Invoker has Invoked from in the past 24 hours. You are considered Linked to that Stone with no Distance requirement so long as the Invoker and the Familiar are on the same plain of existence even if within an Anti-Magic field. Unless that field is strong enough to separate a Familiar from its master. This Link does not count towards the total number of stones you can be Linked to.
The familiar gains the Shine ability of that stone and can use it once per long rest. It can use the Shatter effect of the stone it is made of, but doing so will cause the Familiar to drop to 0 Hit Points and must be re-summoned. The Invoker also loses the Link effect of the Familiar stone.
You can re-summon the familiar by spending time, money, and a DC 15 Jeweler's Tools ritual to bring it back. The ritual takes 6 hour if the familiar is made of Simi-precious stone or 24 hours if it is made of Precious stone and requires stones it is made of equal to half the base cost of an Invoking Quality Stone of that type. You can perform this ritual only once per long rest.
If you want to change which stone your familiar is made of you can by completing a DC 15 Jeweler's Tools ritual that takes 1 hour and a Invoking quality stone of the same type as the type of stone you want your Familiar to change into. The stone is consumed upon successful completion of this ritual. This spell cannot change what type of familiar it is, only what type of stone it is made out of. If you fail the DC of the ritual to change your familiar's stone type the stone you used gains the Cracked condition. You can only preform this ritual once per long rest.
If you already had a familiar it becomes a Crystalline Familiar version of that familiar.
Stone List:
(When determining if a Stone is of Invoking Quality the DM should decide if the stone is in good enough condition to be used in Faceting or large enough that a raw uncut version can be clearly determined to be the stone in question and would be worthy of being on a noble’s ring or crown. A fleck of a diamond would not be of Invoking quality, but a solid piece that could be cut down and placed into a ring would be, even if it is in its raw state should it be of high enough quality. Stones need to be separated from the basic rock they are around to be used. An emerald with a bit of normal rock on one end is fine to use should it be of invoking quality, but a rock the size of your fist with a tiny emerald in it is not even if the tiny gemstone would be of invoking quality.)
(Invoking quality stones are of a higher quality than normal. As such it is recommended that the DM increase the base price of the stones to at least 1.25 their normal cost, but no more than twice as expensive. Also factoring in supply & demand of where the PCs are in the world, if the stone is already cut, difficulty of cutting, in an object etc.)

This damage overcomes Resistances, but not Immunities.
Shine: All allies within the stone’s light when Invoked are linked to you for 1 minute. As a reaction you can call them to you so long as they are on the same plane of existence as you. The ally is teleported to an open space adjacent to you which severs the link. If, when you activate the link, no space adjacent to you is open the link is severed and they are not teleported.

Clerics, Paladins, and Warlocks serving a Chaotic patron gain Advantage on the roll. If they move more than two alignment spaces from their patron’s alignment, they do not lose their connection with their patron, nor do they lose their spells or abilities. However, it does weaken their link to their patron enough that they are considered 1 level lower when determining total spells, spells per long rest, and highest level of spells known while effected.

Alexandrite
Link: As this stone changes from Emerald during the day to Ruby at night, so too do you change by the rising and setting of the sun. When Linked choose one other humanoid race, gender, and either Day or Night. During that time you polymorph into that gender and race. You appear as a perfect copy of that race, though do not get any of the race’s Extraordinary Abilities. While the effects are perfect to the naked eye a detect magic spell will indicate a polymorph effect. The transformation takes place over one round and can be broken by unlinking from the stone. To change anything about the chosen transformation the Invoker must unlink and then relink with the stone.
Shine: One willing creature within the stone’s light when Invoked is altered to a degree for 1 hour. It can increase or decrease in height by no more than one foot. It can increase or decrease in weight by no more than 50 pounds. Skin color, hair color, hair length, and eye color are all changed as the creature wants it, but they must remain the same race and gender. The change takes 1 round and does not alter clothing. The creature is a perfect version of what they intend to transform into, but the creature has an aura of magic around it which can be detected with Detect Magic and other such spells indicating the polymorph effect. This effect cannot affect Shapeshifters. A creature may benefit from this type of stone only once per long rest.
Shatter: Target 1 creature within 60ft of you. That creature makes a Wisdom save. On a failed roll they are transformed as per the Shine effect for 1 minute at the Invoker’s discretion, or nothing happens at all on a successful save. This effect can affect shapeshifters, but they get Advantage on the roll. On a successful save they know someone, or something, tried to force a transformation on them. If a shapeshifter is transformed, they are able to transform back as per the normal rules for their race. They do not need to wait the minute.

Shatter: All enemies within 30ft make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save they take 2d10 Radiant damage and 2d10 Piercing damage, or half as much on a successful save.

Emerald
Link: Whenever an Arcane spell, or Arcane effect, of 3rd level or lower would target you (or affect you if it is an AOE) that caster or source must make an Arcana check of DC 8 + 6 + Proficiency Bonus of the Crystalline Invoker. On a failed roll, that that spell is Countered. On a successful roll, the spell functions as normal. After the resolution of the Casting of that spell, if the Linked Invoker is capable of making an Arcana check, the Crystal Invoker may do so to identify the caster or source of the spell so long as the caster or source is within 60ft. The countering effect is mandatory. It is required on Arcane spells and Arcane effects from both allies and enemies but is not affected by your own spells.
Shine: As a reaction you may expend a spell slot to counter a spell that is at least 1 level lower than the spell slot you expended. A creature may be countered from this type of stone only once per long rest.
Shatter: All active magical Arcane effects within 100ft that would be considered 4th level or below in power or were created by an Arcane caster of total level 8 or lower when created are suppressed for 1 minute. If the effect would be considered 1st level or lower or was created by an Arcane caster of level 3 or lower when created the effect is dispelled instead. All other Arcane casters of total level 8 or less within 100ft make an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw (Determined by their class spell casting modifier). On a failed save they have disadvantage on Concentration checks for 1d10 minutes and cannot cast arcane cantrips for 1d3 rounds.
*None of the effects of Emerald work on supernatural abilities directly related to a creature’s race.
Grandidierite
Link: You no longer appear to age while Linked. The internal parts of your body continue to age as normal, but do not turn gray and retain skin elasticity. If you linked to this stone before your body has reached the point of its maturity you will continue to age normally externally and internally until reaching that point. This stone gains 1 Aging Charge for every five years worth of time it has been Linked to you.
Shine: You and all creatures within the stone’s light when Invoked are unsullied from the grime and sweat of life. All dirt, sweat, grime, and viscera are cleaned of those within the stone’s light when Invoked as if they had a long shower with plenty of unscented soap. Additionally, clothing is cleaned, and any damage done that could be fixed by the Mending spell is repaired. A creature and object may benefit from this type of stone only once per long rest.
Shatter: Target one creature within 10ft you can see. For every Aging Charge this stone has that creature must make one Constitution saving throw. On a failed save the creature takes 1 level of Exhaustion. Shattering this stone will revert your outer body to how it would naturally look at your age.
*The Shine effect does clean minor wounds of dirt and grime, however it does not prevent or fix any poisons, infections, or diseases that have already entered the body nor does it heal the wound. Being unlinked from this stone does not reduce the charges for you so long as you relink to it within 24 hours. For every additional 24 hours that have gone past reduce the charge by 1. If someone else Links to it they start at 0 Charges. If someone links to this stone and then you link back the charges are reset to 0.
Jacinth
Link: Upon being linked to this stone you fall into a death like sleep for up to six hours. While your body is in this state your soul travels through the Astral Sea. You do not need a vessel to travel, and you always know the right way back to your body when traveling the Astral Sea this way. Your Spirit Cord changes from silver to the color of the Jacinth Linked to as you are still Linked to it and can use the Linked Jacinth Shine and Shatter effect. If you do not return to your body within the six hours the Link to this stone is broken and so is your Spirit Cord. While in the Astral Sea by this effect you are still Linked to your other Stones, but cannot use their Shine or Shatter effects, nor the Shine or Shatter effects of your Crystal Familiar. While in the Astral Sea by this effect your physical body is considered helpless.
Shine: You increase your AC by 4 while in the Astral Sea for 1 hour. A creature may benefit from this type of stone only once per long rest.

If they are Resistance to Lightning damage they gain advantage on the Constitution saving throw.
Sapphire

Flying enemies of Large size or smaller have Disadvantage on this roll.

Link: A vampire linked to this stone has its heart beat once more. They no longer need to drink blood, can go out in the sun, and they react to Positive Energy like a living human. All the while retaining all benefits of being a vampire.
Shine: All creatures that the vampire has fed on within the stone’s light when Invoked make a DC 21 Wisdom save. On a successful save nothing happens, but the Invoker knows who made the save. On a failed save the vampire Invoker can supplant one compulsion with a trigger word or event. The compulsion cannot be more than 30 words and is done mentally and instantly when the save is failed. The compulsion remains for 6 + Invoker Proficiency Bonus years and cannot be removed by anything other than a Divine’s blessing or a Wish spell. A creature may only be affected by this stone’s Shine effect once.
Shatter: A dark storm of thick shadow like clouds erupts from the stone surging into the sky blotting out the sun for 100 X Invoker Proficiency Bonus square miles. Blood Rain falls constantly for the first 10 X Invoker Proficiency Bonus days dealing 1d4 points of Necrotic damage to all living plants and creatures for every round they are in it. After the first 10 days the rain stops for 1 hour every four hours. If something dies from the Blood Rain it rises as a thrall of the Vampire who Shattered the stone. Vampires in the Blood Rain count as having been fed and regain 10 Hit Points per round and Dhampirs regain 5 Hit Points per round they are in it. The shadow clouds and blood rain are a supernatural effect and last until the Vampire who shattered the stone wills them away or 1 year and a day after its death.
