Default Re: Gem usage

No, it can't use 6 gems, only 2 (+1 to boost it, 1 for the spell). And that'd make it cast a d2 spell at level d7 - it wouldn't make really much difference compared to d6, though at very high (95+) fatigue levels it might as well burn the extra gem, but I doubt it. I think at d6 shadow blast should do around 7 fatigue + any base spellcasting fatigue, so it isn't much of an issue. AI seems to favor being able to cast a new spell straight away (as in keeping the fatigue below 100), which is quite understandable. I don't have any numbers to back this up though, so take my word with a grain of salt.
