Gems are one of the methods available in Soul's Remnant to improve the strength of one's equipment, increasing the amount that a line will provide, independent of line quality.

Upgrading

Using a gem will destroy the gem and remove one Upgrade Slot from the piece of equipment it is used on, applying its effect and adding (+1) to the item's name. You will also receive a message telling you what was upgraded (or changed) and by how much.

In order to use a gem on an item, you must go into your inventory and then drag the gem over the piece of equipment you wish to upgrade.

+ Dragging the gem with Left Click will make it so you only use one gem.

+ Right Clicking on the gem will make it easier to use multiple gems in a row, simply by clicking the left mouse button over the piece of equipment repeatedly. Right click again to stop using Gems.

Gem Types

Nurturing Gem: Adds +1 to a randomly selected Stats line, improving it and making the item stronger.
Mystical Gem: Adds +1 to a randomly selected Echoes line, and that line's position in particular will remain +1 even if changed via Souls.
Calamity Gem: The Calamity Gem has a low chance to potentially destroy the item when used, so it is always a risk. When the item is not destroyed, you can go from using an Upgrade Slot to weaken and lock the item, or gaining a net of +1 Upgrade Slots, or something else.
