Answer 58 The spice gems of the granite forest are used by the Imperials to augment the earth elementals they acquire from Mother Plains. With spice gems embedded in them, they become significantly more cunning and more aggressive. For someone who has a use for a cunning, aggressive pile of dirt. The spice gems also have a slightly upsetting mental effect on living organisms; nothing dramatic, but they make living things uncomfortable over time, so that they can be used as pest repellant. Alchemists can probably enhance that into a full-on Dread that no animal and few civilized people will abide, or limit it to affect only certain organisms. And there's always a few people who, as a display of "strength", crush them into powder and eat them on their food or drink.

Question 89 Aside from the stupendous hat, is there any reliable way to distinguish an Archmage, Mage or ordinary Imperial? Can Mages simply sense each other's power? How accurately and at what range? Is there some alchemical means of distinguishing them, and if so how involved, expensive and portable is it? Or could any Imperial be a Mage if, you know, they were wearing peasant clothes for some reason?
