Re: Why do you like Acashic Record so much?
It's too simply too costly. I usually figure out which three gems I can make the best use of, then start casting the specific sitefinding spells like Augury and Haruspex with several mages.
I use Acashic Record mostly because I like finding cool sites I've never seen before. I never looked at the various magic-sites-lists, because I want to find out myself, and don't want to deprave myself from this "Wow, that's something cool!"-feeling. So, it's 25 pearls for a sort of adrenaline kick for me.

I thought only 1 item of identical type can ever stack with another? Are you sure you are actually receiving 2 pearls on your dual-clam-wielders? (I *thought* I tested this out once and came up negative (only 1 pearl/turn)). Counting to two gives me no problems yet. So the answer is yes.

Stat-effects are not duplicated for identical items, generating is.
I once had an oracle with four clams of pearls, and believe me, it did give 4 astral gems/round
Likewise, I often have mound kings with dual fever fetishes around in some safely hidden place.

Hmm, something should be done about this Yes, somebody ( ) really ought to prevent that. It can even be justified rather painlessly by arguing that the undead do not generate the heat from being wracked by the fever - or something like that. I.e. Fever fetishes only working on living commanders.

Hmm, something should be done about this It still will be abusable. A 20 gp scout will gladly (?) take care of 2 fetishes for 9 turns, thus generating 18x15 = 270 gp worth of fire gems. Net gain: 238 gp. Quite a bargain in my book.
